On the daily chart, the cross has been consolidating losses near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 84.60 from the lows of 83.93. If price breaches the mentioned level, then it would navigate toward May 6 low at 84.24.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator reads below the midline, which hints at the continuation of the prevailing trend until the 84.00 horizontal support level.
Alternatively, if price breaches above the 50-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA), then it could meet the first hurdle at the 85.00 horizontal resistance level. On further moving higher AUD/JPY bulls could test the 23% Fibonacci retracement at 85.40, followed by Monday high at 85.40.
