AUD/JPY technical analysis: Bid above 76.00, oversold bounce underway

  • Oversold conditions, as reported by technical indicators, seem to have put a bid under AUD/JPY.
  • The 4-hour chart shows a bull divergence of the RSI.

The AUD/JPY pair is currently trading at session highs near 76.20, representing 0.37% gains on the day. 

The bounce is likely associated with the oversold conditions reported by the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) and could be extended further to the descending (bearish) 5-day moving average (MA), currently at 76.54, as the RSIs on both the hourly and 4-hour charts are reporting bullish divergences. 

Further, the futures on the S&P 500 are currently reporting 0.5% gains. That would weaken the haven demand for JPY, allowing a stronger corrective bounce in the AUD/JPY cross.
