AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Moves near 94.70 with conflicting signals limiting directional conviction
Source Fxstreet
- AUD/JPY was seen trading near the 94.70 zone on Wednesday, holding mid-range after a mild advance.
- Momentum indicators flash mixed cues, with short-term bias tilted higher but overbought risks emerging.
- Support lies around 94.60–94.42 while resistance caps gains near the 95.20–96.45 zone.
The AUD/JPY pair edged slightly higher on Wednesday’s session ahead of the Asian open, seen trading around the 94.70 area. After bouncing from earlier lows, the pair managed to extend its recovery, though intraday action remains confined within the mid-point of its daily range, with a mixed technical setup keeping broader trends in check.
From a momentum perspective, the MACD histogram signals a potential buy. Meanwhile, the Ichimoku Base Line near 94.30 maintains a neutral stance. The Relative Strength Index stands at 51 and the Stochastic oscillator at 71, both hovering in neutral territory, yet the combined RSI/Stochastic indicator printing near 85 raises early overbought warnings.
Moving average analysis shows the 20-day Simple Moving Average at 93.88 supporting upside momentum in the short term. However, longer-term pressure remains, as both the 100-day SMA at 96.98 and 200-day SMA at 98.80 continue to slope downward, suggesting underlying bearish risk remains in play.
In terms of key levels, immediate support is seen around 94.60, followed by 94.47 and 94.42. On the flip side, resistance is expected at 95.22 and 95.36, with a break above the latter potentially opening the door for a test of 96.45.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant.
The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year.
Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus.
Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses.
Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
