  • Support 84.61/68 backed by the lower median-line parallel & 81.08

AUDJPY 30min

Notes:AUDJPY has set a clean weekly opening range just below key confluence resistance around the monthly open at 86.13/28. The focus is on a break of this range with a general short-bias favored below the overnight highs with a break sub 84.61/68 (low-day close) targeting support objectives at 84.08 & 83.56.

A breach higher invalidates the immediate short-bias with such a scenario targeting 86.73 backed by key resistance up at 87.26/36. Note that this is a wider-range setup with a quarter of the daily average true range (ATR) yielding profit targets of 46-48pips per scalp. Caution is warranted heading into major event risk on Thursday with the FOMC policy decision and subsequent presser likely to fuel added volatility in risk sensitive pairs.
