Year To Date High Printed On Tuesday, Golden Cross Observed

AUD

AUD/JPY printed a year to date high yesterday, after the RBA's 25bps rate hike before marginally extending gains in the NY session as improving risk sentiment aided the pair.

  • The cross now sits above the ¥93 handle, and at the highest level since mid-December last printing at ¥93.15/25.
  • A Golden Cross has been observed as the 50-Day EMA has crossed the 200-Day EMA.
  • Bulls first target ¥93.81, a Fibonacci retracement, a break through here opens ¥95 handle.
  • Bears look to break low from June 6 (¥92.13), with the 20-Day EMA (¥91.66) the next target.
  • RBA Gov Lowe is speaking at the moment however there has been little reaction in the AUD thus far. Deputy Gov Bullock crosses shortly at a panel discussion. In just under 2 hours Q1 GDP from Australia is due, a rise of 0.3% Q/Q is expected.
