  • AUD/JPY bulls in-charge, hit fresh multi-month highs at 89.67, levels unseen since Dec 2015.
     
  • The major now finds next trendline resistance is seen at 90, break above will see further gains.
     
  • Next bull target above 90 levels lies at 91.22 (61.8% Fib retracement of 102.844 to 72.437 fall).
     
  • 5-DMA support at 88.92 is immediate support, we see minor weakness on break below.
