The AUD/JPY pair has pulled back 30 pips from the session high of 78.00 in the last few minutes, possibly on the back of a weaker-than-expected Aussie housing data.
Building approvals tanked 9 percent month-on-month in November, beating the estimated drop of 0.5 percent by a big margin. Notably, the annualized drop of 32.8 percent has been the worst since August 2013.
The data is indeed negative for the Aussie dollar. The AUD/JPY cross, however, is still holding above the crucial support of the 50-hour moving average (MA).

- As seen above, the pair bounced off from the 50-hour MA in the overnight trade and rose to 78.00 ahead of the housing data release, reinforcing the bullish view put forward by the higher lows.
- A break below the 50-hour MA, therefore, would invalidate the immediate bullish outlook.
Trend: Bullish above 50-hour MA
