AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Gains ground above 110.00 as mild bullish bias persists
- AUD/JPY drifts higher to around 110.20 in Monday’s Asian session.
- The cross keeps a mildly bullish vibe, but further consolidation cannot be ruled out amid neutral RSI momentum.
- The first upside barrier emerges at 111.25; initial support is located at 110.00.
The AUD/JPY cross attracts some buyers to near 110.20 during the Asian trading hours on Monday. The Australian Dollar (AUD) edges higher against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on expectations of further interest rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
However, the upside for the cross might be limited as escalating tensions in the Middle East could boost safe-haven demand for the JPY. Iran’s central military command on Monday warned of far more “devastating and widespread” retaliation if its adversaries hit civilian targets. The statement came after US President Donald Trump threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants and bridges if Tehran didn’t make a deal to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Technical Analysis:
In the daily chart, the near-term bias of AUD/JPY is mildly bullish as price holds above the rising 100-day exponential moving average near 107.35, extending the broader uptrend despite the latest pullback. The RSI eases to the midline, suggesting that further consolidation cannot be ruled out in the near term.
Immediate resistance emerges near the Bollinger middle band of 111.25. Above that, the next upside reference aligns near the March 19 high of 112.61, en route to the upper Bollinger Band of 113.65. On the downside, initial support is seen at the 110.00 psychological level. A deeper setback would target the lower limit of the Bollinger Band near 108.75, followed by the 100-day EMA around 107.35.
