AUD/JPY trims gains, stuck at 50-DMA
FXStreet (Mumbai) - AUD/JPY remained elevated in the early European morning, mainly driven by gains in the Aussie as USD bulls take a back seat and moves away from twelve year highs ahead of Europe open.
AUD/JPY holds above 10-DMA
Currently, the AUD/JPY trades higher by 0.13% at 93.62 levels, slipping day’s highs at 93.76. AUD/JPY remains elevated, wavering around 50-DMA, largely on the Aussie strength as the much anticipated US NFP numbers puts the USD bulls on the back burner as traders prefer to square-off their positions, boosting the Australian dollar. On the JPY side of the story, the yen traded modestly flat awaiting fresh direction from the upcoming US economic release.
Overall, the cross is likely to extend its consolidation phase so long as it breaches a firm resistance at 94 levels and gives a closing above that level on daily basis.
AUD/JPY Levels to consider
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 94 levels and above which it could extend gains to at 94.66 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 93.51 (5-DMA) levels below that at 93.05 (20-DMA) levels.
