AUD/JPY off session highs but holding opening gap support of 0.9198 thus far
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The already bullish AUD/JPY cross gapped up Monday on news that the relatively hawkish Larry Summers withdrew his name from consideration as the replacement for Fed Chairman Bernanke.
AUD/JPY reflecting status as key risk gauge as it trades higher on the session
With no Australian or Japanese news out on Monday, the AUD/JPY is trading nicely higher – holding the upper edge of the opening gap up at 0.9198 as support so far. The cross, which is typically utilized as a tool to add or hedge risk exposure in global portfolios, is clearly reflecting a macro “risk on” attitude on the part of global investors following the Fed / Summers news.
Technical outlook for AUD/JPY
Technicians say that the AUD/JPY is bullish as long as it remains above Fibonacci-generated support at 90.91. Shorter-term support comes into play at 0.9198 and 0.9182 the upper and lower edges of today’s gap up. Today’s peak at 92.75 and the 9/11 peak at 93.55 are the near-term resistance levels.
