FX.co ★ AUD/JPY Fundamental Analysis April 21, 2017

AUD/JPY is going through a non-volatile bearish move. The pair is currently showing some bullish pressure upon the bounce off 81.50 level. Today, Japan presented Flash Manufacturing PMI which was at 52.8, stronger than the consensus of 52.5. Tertiary Industry Activity report was logged at 0.2% which was expected to be at 0.3%. On the other hand, Australia did not have any economic news today but on Wednesday NAB released Quarterly Business Conference which was unchanged at 6. Fundamentally JPY is stronger than AUD. The pair is expected to move more downward in the coming days.

Now let us look at the pair from the technical view. The price has a bounce from 81.50 with a bullish engulfing price action. The non-volatile bearish trend is expected to continue. Currently, a bullish move towards 83.00 level is just around the corner. If we see any bullish rejection off that level, we will consider short positions with the nearest target towards 81.50 again and then 79.20 support level.
