AUD/JPY Downside Correction Continues, RSI At Lowest Levels Since Dec 2023

AUD

AUD/JPY continues to correct lower, the pair last near 104.70, back to mid June levels (earlier lows were at 104.53). We sit around 4.4% off recent highs (109.37 set on July 12).

  • The recent sell off has corrected the technical overbought condition, at least based off the RSI (14), see the chart below. The RSI is not yet in oversold conditions but is at its lowest level since December last year.
  • Levels wise the 100-day EMA sits back at 103.15, while the 50-day (near 105.25), may act as a resistance on any rebound in the near term.
  • Outside of broader risk trends, along with intervention risks, we have Australian jobs data coming up soon as a watch point for this cross. The data could shift domestic sentiment, although focus is largely likely to rest on the Q2 CPI outcome, due at the end of this month to guide RBA risks into the August meeting.
