AUD/JPY Technical Analysis: 50-day SMA acts as an immediate upside barrier

  • AUD/JPY is on bids around 78.30 during the initial Asian trading hours on Friday.
  • Pair took a U-turn from a three-week low but is presently confronting 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at 78.40 in order to justify its strength.
  • Should there be a successful break of 78.40, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of December-January downturn, at 78.95, can quickly appear on the chart.
  • In a case prices rally beyond 78.95, also clear 79.00 round-figure, 79.35 and 100-day SMA figure of 79.80 are likely to preside over buyers’ mind.
  • Alternatively, a dip beneath 78.10 low may test an upward sloping support-line that joins lows since January 07, around 77.75 now.
  • Also, pair’s extended downside past-77.75 highlights the importance of 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 77.35 and 77.00 rest-points ahead of pleasing Bears with 76.00.
