AUD/JPY daily chart

After rising from the lows of 78.85 made one month ago, the pair put its paddle on accelerator and tested the fresh yearly highs above 86.20 on Thursday. The AUD/JPY bulls look exhausted near the higher levels and pushed lower amid corrective pullback. 

If the price continues to move higher it could touch the 85.50 horizontal resistance level again, followed by the yearly highs of 86.25. Further, a close above the mentioned level would open the gates for the February, 2018 highs at 88.12

A decisive break of the ascending trendline at 84.00, which extends from the low of 78.85 would mean more pain for the pair. The AUD/JPY bears would recapture the 83.50 horizontal support zone. The overbought Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) teases bears to test the low of October,12 at 83.01.
