AUD/JPY steady above 92.00

FXStreet (Córdoba) - AUD/JPY is posting marginal gains on Friday, recovering modestly after falling on Thursday to 91.33. The pair is trading at 92.20/30 after being unable to break the 92.35/40 barrier, that was tested repeatedly during the day.

Despite the recovery the pair is about to end the week 70 pips below the level it had seven days ago, weakened by a stronger yen and the aussie’s slide on Thursday following the Australian jobs report.

AUD/JPY outlook

After falling sharply on January the pair stabilized on February but the dominant trend is still bearish. So far, the recovery could be characterized as a bullish correction. A consolidation on top of 93.00 could open the doors for a continuation in the recovery. On the opposite direction, a daily close under 90.70 would expose 90.00 and 2015 lows.
