  • The Australian Dollar (AUD) is taking the bids near 78.95 against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on early Thursday.
  • AUD/JPY is forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern on the hourly chart that needs to be validated by a sustained break of 79.00 neckline figure.
  • Should this happen, prices can rally theoretically towards $80.00 but a descending trend-line stretched since February 25, followed by the late last-month high, may challenge buyers around 79.40 and 79.80.
  • In a case prices witness pullback, 50% Fibonacci retracement level near 78.70 and 78.30 are likely immediate supports to watch.
  • During the pair’s additional weakness post-78.30, 78.00 and 77.70 may flash on bears’ radar.
