​​EUR/JPY bounces off support

EUR/JPY is in the process of recovering from its 13 January low at ¥160.04 and has the ¥165.00 region in its sights. En route minor resistance can be seen along the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at ¥162.29.

Failure at ¥160.04 would lead to the mid-December low at ¥159.82 being eyed While it holds, the medium-term uptrend remains valid.

USD/JPY capped by the ¥158.00 region

USD/JPY retraces lower from its six-month high at ¥158.88, a rise above which would put the ¥160.00 region on the cards.

Minor support between the November ¥156.74 high and the late December ¥156.03 low may be revisited first, though.

AUD/USD in recovery mode

AUD/USD's descent to $0.6132, briefly below the October 2022 low at $0.6171, has been followed by a recovery rally which targets the September-to-January downtrend line at $0.6252.

A fall through the $0.6132 low would have the October 2008 low at $0.6009 in its sights. A rise above the 6 January high at $0.6302 is needed, for a potentially bullish reversal to gain traction.​​
