AUD/JPY Technical Analysis: Breaks above 200-hour EMA as Aussie jobless rate falls to 5%

  • The AUD/JPY pair convincingly crossed the 200-hour exponential moving average (EMA) of 80.14 after the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reported a drop in the jobless rate to 5 percent in September – the lowest level since 2012.
  • The break above the 200-hour EMA and a rise to a session high of 80.32 validate the bullish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart and indicates scope for a rally to the next resistance lined up at 80.60.
  • The major moving averages – 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs – are beginning to rise favor of the AUD bulls.
