  • AUD/JPY extends upside, breaks major channel top resistance at 85.65, bias higher. 
     
  • Saudi’s readiness to do ‘whatever it takes’ to rebalance the oil markets buoys oil markets and in turn commodity currencies.

  • Support levels - 85.90 (1H 20-SMA), 85.41 (5-DMA), 85. 84.93 (Dec 9 lows)
     
  • Resistance levels - 86.40 (trendline), 86.70 (Mar 28 week), 87, 87.64 (50% Fib)
     
  • Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-AUD-JPY-higher-on-upbeat-China-CPI-data-finds-major-resistance-at-8560-442861) has hit TP1.
