AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Struggles at 93.00 as bears gain steam
- AUD/JPY retreats as risk-off sentiment lifts Yen; closes below key 93.00 threshold.
- Break below Tenkan-sen at 92.75 could open path toward support at 91.50 and 90.81.
- Bulls need to reclaim 93.86 to challenge 94.00 and resume upward momentum.
AUD/JPY loses some ground on Thursday ahead of the beginning of Friday’s Asian session, falls over 0.19%, below the 93.00 figure, yet retains its sideways bias as the cross pair remains above the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo).
AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The AUD/JPY reached a two-week high of 93.86 on Thursday, but as market participants turned risk-averse, Yen’s strength sent the cross drifting lower and finished the day with losses. Additionally, the daily close below 93.00 has opened the path for lower prices.
If AUD/JPY drops below the Tenkan-sen of 92.75, the next support would be a May 27 low of 92.12. Once surpassed, the next key support levels would be the May 23 swing low of 91.63, the top of the Ichimoku cloud (Kumo) at 91.50, and the Senkou Span B at 90.81.
For a bullish reversal, buyers need to climb past 93.00 and break stir resistance at 93.86, the May 29 high. Once surpassed, the 94.00 figure would be up for grabs.
