  • The pickup in risk aversion providing extra support to the safe haven JPY.
     
  • AUD/JPY edged higher on early Thursday's trade on the back of Australian jobs data-led gains.
     
  • The pair retraced dip below 200-DMA at 82.60, but upside seems to lack traction.
     
  • Upside was rejected at 83 handle, the pair has slipped below 200-DMA at 82.60 and major trendline support at 82.35.
     
  • Technical studies are biased lower, close below trendline support will see drag lower.
     
  • Scope then for test of 81.53 (April 20 low) and then 80.30 (50% Fib of 72.43 to 88.17 rise).
