AUD/JPY Technical Analysis: On the defensive, eyes trendline support

• The AUD/JPY pair suffered a descending channel breakdown earlier today, signaling a continuation of the sell-off from the weekly high of 82.48.
• The 50-hour, 100-hour, and 200-hour exponential moving averages (MAs) have rolled over in favor of the bears and the 50-hour and 200-hour EMAs have also produced a bearish crossover. Further, the MACD is signaling that bearish move is gathering pace.
• As a result, the pair looks set to test the support of the trendline drawn from the Sept. 23 low and Sept. 7 low, currently seen at 80.86.
