AUDJPY | Pullback From 84.00, However, Momentum Suggests Upside

AUDJPY pulls back from the 84.00 handle, which now eyes a test of support situated at the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement (82.96). However, despite the rejection from 84.00, risks remain tilted to the upside as momentum indicators point to a bullish bias. Key resistance at 84.30-40, in which a break could see 85.00 hit.

AUDNZD | Critical Trendline Support from Record Low Curbs Downside

Crucial support at the 1.06 handle, which also coincides with the rising trendline from the record low posted in 2015 keeps the cross afloat. Alongside this, the bullish RSI divergence on the daily time-frame increases scope for a near term bounce. However, momentum indicators remain bearish, as such, a break below trendline support could see a move of sub 1.05.
