AUD/JPY 30min

Notes: AUD/JPY has been trading within the confines of a well-defined ascending median-line formation off last week’s lows with the rally now approaching former daily support turned resistance. The rally is at risk here near-term sub-92, but the trade remains constructive while within this formation with a breach higher targets objectives at 92.26, 92.66 and 93.22.

Interim support rests at Friday’s close at 91.24 backed by the lower MLP (bullish invalidation). A break below looks for more significant support at 90.32/45 which is defined by the weekly low and the 2015 low-day close. A quarter of the daily average true range yields profit targets of 29-31pips per scalp. Event risk from the respective economies is somewhat limited but be on the lookout for the BoJ and China data tonight with the releases likely to fuel added volatility in risk sensitive pairs.
