AUDJPY Rebounds, But Broken Out Of Longer Term Bull Channel

AUD

AUD/JPY has recovered from a break below the ¥88 handle this morning to print at 88.30/40. The better AU jobs data, combined with the Credit Suisse news (borrowing from SNB) has aided the rebound.

  • The cross now sits just above key support level, dips below ¥88 have been supported since AUD/JPY broke through the level late March 2022. Closes below this level have attracted buying interest capping falls.
  • Still, over the longer time frame the cross has broken out of a bull channel that has been evident since the depths of the covid crisis, see the chart below.
  • A close below ¥88 is crucial for bears, from there they can target ¥85 handle. Bulls look to first break the 20-Day EMA (¥90.38) to turn the tide.
