The AUD/JPY witnessed the formation of a ‘hammer’ on Friday in the daily chart, suggesting that further upside is seen. However, the pair plunged sharply toward a one-month low of 97.78 last Friday on geopolitical risks. As tensions abated, the Aussie Dollar (AUD) gained traction against the Japanese Yen (JPY).
If AUD/JPY continues its rally towards 100.00, it could potentially test the current year-to-date (YTD) high at 100.81. Once this level is cleared, the next significant resistance would be at 101.00, providing clear targets for traders to considers.
On the other hand, the AUD/JPY first support would be the 61.8% Fibo retracement at 99.65. Once cleared, the pair could drop toward the Tenkan-Sen and the Senkou Span A confluence at 99.20, followed by the 99.00 mark. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the March 28 swing low of 98.17.
