AUD/JPY Technical Analysis: Overbought conditions on hourly and weaker Aussie retail sales could put brakes on rally

  • For AUD/JPY, the path of least resistance is on the higher side, as indicated by the rising trendline and upward sloping 50-, 100-, and 200-hour exponential moving averages (EMAs). However, both relative strength index (RSI) and stochastic are flashing overbought readings.
  • The Aussie retail sales data released a few minutes before press time showed that consumption growth slowed to 0.2 percent month-on-month in September from the previous month’s print of 0.3 percent.
  • The combination of weaker-than-expected retail sales and overbought conditions on the hourly chart indicate scope for a minor pullback in the AUD/JPY.
  • Pullbacks to levels below 81.00, if any, will likely be short-lived, as Trump’s positive comments on the US-China trade relations could boost risk appetite.
