YEN: JPY tracked risk sentiment on Wednesday, with JPY crosses ultimately
finishing higher as equities recovered & trade war rhetoric softened, after the
risk off move after China announced its retaliatory measures to the proposed US
tariffs.
- USDJPY bulls will take comfort on support emerging on dips during Wednesday
morning's risk off flows. Bears need a close below 105.29 to add to confidence &
below 104.28 to confirm focus on 99.08-101.15 where 2016 lows are noted. The
55-DMA (107.33) is now key resistance.
- EURJPY currently remains supported around 55 & 200-WMAs (129.39) and capped
ahead of the 200-DMA (132.11) with the 100-DMA (133.06) presenting the key
topside level of interest.
- AUDJPYs recent recovery from 2018 lows has seen the pair work its way back
towards 82.70 resistance, bulls look for a close above here to open up a move
higher. Initial support is now noted at the 21-DMA (82.16), with bears looking
for a close below hourly support from April 4 (81.93) to return initial focus to
retests of 2018 lows.
