- AUD/JPY bounces off 50-DMA support at 85.81, spinning top formation seen at lows.
- JPY bulls seem to have lost control following reports of BOJ buying JGBs today.
- The 5-year JGB yields dropped sharply and hit fresh three-month lows, which prompted fresh yen selling across the board.
- The pair finds strong support in the 85.85-85.80 region - Cloud top (85.96), 50-DMA (85.81), trendline (85.85).
- Technical indicators are inconclusive for now. Only break below 85.80 will see further drag in the pair.
Support levels - 85.81 (50-DMA, cloud top), 85.24 (Feb 7 low), 85, 84.46 (72.437 to 88.176 rally)
Resistance levels - 86.55 (20-DMA), 86.74 (5-DMA), 87, 87.53 (Dec 15, 2016 high)
