AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Aussie dips slightly as 20-day SMA offers support

Source Fxstreet
  • AUD/JPY was seen trading around the 93.70 zone, recording its third consecutive day of mild losses.
  • Despite the negative streak, the pair continues to hold above the 20-day SMA, suggesting downside may be limited.
  • Momentum indicators remain soft; RSI stays in negative territory while MACD shows flat green bars.

On Friday’s session the AUD/JPY edged slightly lower and was seen trading in the 93.70 area. The pair has now posted three straight sessions of mild declines, though it remains above a key support level. Price action shows some hesitation from sellers, as bulls attempt to defend the 20-day Simple Moving Average, hinting at a potential pause in downside pressure.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently positioned in negative territory, mildly declining near the mid-40s, which reflects limited bearish momentum. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains in positive territory, but its histogram shows flat green bars, signaling a lack of strong directional conviction.

From a trend perspective, holding above the 20-day SMA, currently near the 93.50 region, keeps the short-term outlook slightly tilted to the upside. A break below this level could shift sentiment and open the door toward 93.00 or even the 92.50 area. On the flip side, resistance lies around 94.20, followed by the psychological 95.00 mark.
