AUDJPY DETAILED ANALYSISAUDJPY has successfully completed a breakout from a bullish pennant structure on the 4H timeframe, signaling the beginning of a strong upward continuation move. After a sustained consolidation below descending resistance, price action has now pierced through the upper trendline with volume and follow-through momentum. The breakout is aligned with the prior bullish leg from mid-June, indicating trend continuation. I’m now targeting 96.500 as the next key price level, with current price holding firm at 94.500.
Fundamentally, the Australian Dollar remains supported by recent hawkish RBA expectations. Traders are now pricing in the possibility of another rate hike following sticky inflation data out of Australia. The latest CPI print showed an annualized rise above 4%, exceeding forecasts, and reinforcing the case for tighter monetary policy. In contrast, the Japanese Yen continues to weaken as the Bank of Japan maintains its dovish tone, with no immediate signs of rate normalization. The ongoing yield divergence continues to fuel bullish flows into AUDJPY.
Today’s market sentiment favors risk-on assets, and AUD typically benefits in such conditions. Global equity strength and higher commodity prices are further backing AUD's upside momentum. Moreover, with carry trade flows increasing as investors seek higher-yielding currencies, AUDJPY is well-positioned to benefit from both fundamental tailwinds and technical breakout confirmation.
This setup is technically clean and fundamentally strong. Pullbacks toward the 94.100–93.900 zone could be retested as new support before the pair extends higher. As long as price holds above the breakout level, I remain bullish with 96.500 as my primary upside target. This pair is offering a high-probability continuation play in alignment with both macro and micro structure.
