FxWirePro: AUD/JPY breaks major resistance at 86.75, good to go long on dips

  • AUD/JPY has broken major trendline resistance at 86.75, eyes 20-DMA at 87.65.  
     
  • Aussie remains bid against JPY as risk sentiment stabilizes amid fading North Korea tensions and as Australia wage inflation numbers matched estimates.
     
  • Data released earlier today showed Australia second quarter wage price index came-in as expected at 1.9% y/y and 0.5% q/q.

  • The pair finds major trendline support at 85.75, we see weakness only on break below.
