- AUD/JPY upside falters at major trendline resistance, further upside only on decisive breakout above.
- The pair slips below 90 handle after hitting highs of 90.304 (levels unseen since Dec 2015).
- We see scope for downside on possible 'Bullish Cypher' formation on the daily charts.
- That said, technical studies on weekly charts are highly bullish, RSI strong above 50 levels and biased higher.
- Decisive breakout above trendline resistance at 89.90 could see gains upto 61.8% Fib retracement at 91.22.
Support levels - 88.93 (5-DMA), 88, 87.91 (weekly 5-SMA), 87.70 (20-DMA)
Resistance levels - 90 (trendline), 90.48 (Dec 2015 high), 90.72 (Nov 2015 high)
