AUDJPY Pullback Meets Support

AUD
  • AUD/JPY sits lower on the session and found little support at the 50-dma of 89.97 - nonetheless, prices have slowed and found support on the approach to the uptrendline drawn off the mid-March low of 86.06. The level intersects at 89.44.
  • Move was initially triggered by Biden's move to curb investment flows headed for China, an approach that knocked the CSI 300 by around 2% on the day, with chipmakers and tech-oriented firms leading the way lower - firming the sentiment-driven nature of the cross.
  • A break below the uptrendline exposes 88.98 initially, the 38.2% retracement for the Mar - Apr upleg, but for now, momentum remains pointed higher. 90.78 is the key trigger, opening 92.35 further out.
