FxWirePro: AUD/JPY under pressure, close below 200-DMA adds to downside bias, good to go short on rallies

  • Aussie hurt by weakness in iron ore prices and bearish tone of RBA minutes.
     
  • AUD/JPY closed below 200-DMA for the first time after 5-1/2 months.
     
  • The pair finds major trendline support at 81.60, break below will accentuate weakness.
     
  • Technical indicators are bearish, but caution advised as RSI close to oversold levels.
     
  • We see scope for test of 80.30 (50% Fib retrace of 72.43 to 88.17 rally). Bearish invalidation if pair retraces above 200-DMA.

Support levels - 81.60 (trendline), 81.11 (Nov 18 low), 80.30 (50% Fib)

Resistance levels - 82.06 (38.2% Fib), 82.10 (200-DMA), 82.25 (5-DMA), 82.95 (April 18 high)
