AUD/JPY sets the tone for best week in almost 2 years
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The AUD/JPY foreign exchange cross rate is last trading near session and 1-month highs at 91.44 on its third consecutive rising day building a 3 white soldiers candle reversal pattern, adding for more than 4% in the week so far, ahead of Australia trade balance data at 01:30 GMT and BoJ later on.
AUD/JPY looking for the 93 level
“The double-bottom formation just above a 61.8% Fibo allied with short-covering ahead of the election has had the desired affect (for us bulls that is) and there is now a clear technical target at 93.05,” said FXWW founder Sean Lee, adding: “I booked some partial profits yesterday at 89.70 on average and although I wish I still had the whole position now, it made sense at the time. I will be patient now and wait for 93.00 before booking more profits. If USD/JPY breaks through 100.00, then we will see 93.00 in AUD/JPY very quickly imho.”
