AUD/JPY: Quick Reversal After Mid-Term High Accomplished
The AUD/JPY has suffered a strong reversal lower in early trading this morning, and this follows a mid-term high yesterday which saw the 84.300 level challenged. As of this writing, the AUD/USD is trading slightly below the 83.000 juncture and fast conditions are prevailing. Yesterday’s higher values were not experienced since the middle of November. This morning’s low is testing support which has been demonstrated since the Christmas holiday ended.
Speculators should be prepared for the potential of more volatility in the short term for two reasons. Trading volumes are becoming full again following the holiday season and this means financial institutions are now participating.
The increase in Forex transactions is bound to cause some imbalances short term as the market responds to larger orders being processed. The AUD/JPY was able to demonstrate a solid bullish run higher since the 20th of December when the Forex pair was trading at approximately 80.300.
Also, this morning’s trading comes after some nervousness has been expressed on global equity indices and this could also have weighed into the AUD/JPY as risk-averse trading took hold. Choppy price action in equities could create a bearish sentiment for the pair to be exhibited near term.
If the AUD/JPY remains under the 83.000 level and begins to flirt with the 82.900 ratio, this could be an indication that further downside action could be seen in the short term. Technical sentiment may create targets near the 82.800 to 82.700 levels as potential targets. Because the AUD/JPY can move fast, traders looking for quick hitting results should make sure they use take profit and stop loss orders to participate safely within the Forex pair.
Although the AUD/JPY has made solid strides upwards the past month of trading, speculators may eye the potential more selling to develop in the short term. If resistance levels prove durable near the 83.100 juncture today, traders may want to wager by selling the AUD/JPY on slight rises to ignite their selling positions. Speculators should anticipate volatility to occur, and if the 82.750 support level is proven vulnerable, the AUD/JPY could traverse lower. On the 24th of December, the AUD/JPY was trading near the 82.420 ratio.
AUD/JPY Short-Term Outlook
Current Resistance: 83.150
Current Support: 82.740
High Target: 84.180
Low Target: 82.100
