AUDJPY 30min

Notes: AUDJPY has been trading within the confines of a well-defined ascending median-line formation off last week’s lows with the rally now approaching former daily support turned resistance. The rally is at risk here near-term sub-92, but the trade remains constructive while within this formation with a breach higher targets objectives at 92.26, 92.66 & 93.22.

Interim support rests at Friday’s close at 91.24 backed by the lower MLP (bullish invalidation). A break below looks for more significant support at 90.32/45 which is defined by the weekly low and the 2015 low-day close. A quarter of the daily average true range yields profit targets of 29-31pips per scalp. Event risk from the respective economies is somewhat limited but be on the lookout for the BoJ & China data tonight with the releases likely to fuel added volatility in risk sensitive pairs.
