AUD/JPY Forecast
Since March 19, the AUD/JPY has gone up by more than 950 pips. At the end of March, it broke above the daily downtrend line. Over the last week, it broke above the major resistance near the 67.50 level as well. However, earlier today, it found resistance near the 69.40 level. But, before the bears can take control, the AUD/JPY has to break below the uptrend line and the resistance turned support level at 67.50 first.
The Australian NAB Business Confidence level fell to -66 last month. On the other hand, analysts are expecting the Japanese Tertiary Industry Activity to fall by only -0.2%.
