  • AUD/JPY failed to hold break above cloud top on Wednesday's trade, edges lower to close within the daily cloud.
     
  • Price action on the day has been contained below cloud top resistance at 87.47.
     
  • Technical studies are bullish, RSI above 50, Stochs biased higher, MACD is showing a bullish crossover.
     
  • Breakout above daily cloud could see test of rising trendline resistance at 89.75.
     
  • Upbeat Australia Capex data released earlier today could lend support. Australia private capex rose 0.8% in Q2, beating estimates of 0.3%.
     
  • The pair has shown decisive break above 20-DMA and is holding 5-DMA support at 87.05 on the downside.
     
  • We see weakness only on break below 20-DMA at 86.77. Retrace upto 200-DMA at 85.33 then likely.

Support levels - 87.04 (5-DMA), 86.77 (20-DMA), 86.44 (23.6% Fib retrace of 76.78 to 89.42 rally)

Resistance levels - 87.47 (cloud top), 88.15 (Feb 15th high), 88.70 (Aug 1 high), 89.75 (trendline)

Call update: We had advised a long in our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-AUD-JPY-breaks-above-20-DMA-on-track-to-test-trendline-resistance-at-8970-stay-long-874160).

Recommendation: Bias higher. Hold for targets.
