AUD/JPY daily chart

On the daily chart, the AUD/JPY is trading in between 82.80 and 84.20 price band for the past two-week.

That said, if price breaks intraday’s low of 82.69, it could test the 82.50 horizontal support level followed by the low of June 21 at 82.13.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is in the oversold zone with bearish crossover. Any downtick in the MACD could amplify the downside momentum. 

AUD/JPY bears would test the February 26 low at the 81.99 level.

Alternatively, if price reverses the direction, it could travel back to the 83.00 horizontal resistance level followed by the June 30 high of 83.35.

A  daily close above the 83.35 would open the doors for the 83.50 horizontal resistance area.
