AUD/JPY Update: 5/14/2024
AUD/JPY extends the advance from the start of the week to push the Relative Strength Index (RSI) towards overbought territory.
AUD/JPY appears to be on track to test the yearly high (104.96) as it breaks above the opening range for May, with a move above 70 in the RSI likely to be accompanied by a further advance in the exchange rate like the price action from earlier this year.
A breach above the April high (104.96) may push AUD/JPY towards the 105.43 (April 2013 high) to 105.50 (50% Fibonacci extension) region, with the next area of interest coming in around the November 2007 high (107.79).
However, failure to test the yearly high (104.96) may keep the RSI out of overbought territory, with a move below the 100.90 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) to 101.37 (December 2014 high) area raising the scope for a test for a monthly low (99.93).
