JPY: Edges Higher After Charting Doji Candlestick

AUD

Risk barometer AUD/JPY has edged higher this morning after charting a Doji candlestick on Thursday. The yen lags all of its G10 peers as we type, as e-minis have inched higher. The rate last trades +7 pips at Y83.70.

  • A clearance of Apr 2 high of Y84.49 would prompt bulls to focus on Y85.45, a cycle high printed on Mar 18. Bears look for a slide through yesterday's low/50-DMA at Y83.29/82.98 before targeting Mar 24 low of Y82.29.
