AUDJPY 30min
Notes: AUDJPY is trading within the confines of these well-defined parallels off the monthly highs with the weekly opening range now set just above key near-term support at 86.47/53. A break below this level keeps the short-bias in focus targeting 086.26/29 backed by the parallel extending off last week’s low & 85.93.
Keep in mind that seasonal are bearish yen (bullish yen crosses) into the year-end so we’ll want to be nimble until we clear the monthly opening range. Interim resistance stands at 86.80 backed by our near-term bearish invalidation level at 87.07. A breach above 87.43/50 is needed to shift the focus back to the long side targeting the October high-day close at 88.35.
A quarter of the daily average true range (ATR) yields profit targets of 22-24 pips per scalp. Added caution is warranted heading into key data out of Australia & Japan this week with the release likely to fuel added volatility in Aussie & Yen crosses.
