USD/JPY Analysis

The AUD has been relatively bullish lately, and that was continued this morning when the Reserve Bank of Australia did not meet the market’s expectation that it would cut its base rate by another 0.25%. This led to an immediate rise in this pair earlier this morning up to the resistant level at 0.7835. It is telling that even this news could not get the pair above this level, so if it continues to remain below there today it is likely to fall back to the area at around 0.7750 which is a key psychological number. In this area, there is a short-term bullish trend line, so if it holds with a bullish reversal there should be an opportunity to get long.

If the AUD does show unexpected bullishness, the next obvious place to look for a short reversal is the zone around 0.7900.
