It\u2019s another manic week Forex friends! In today\u2019s FX feature I present to you the daily chart of AUDJPY. As you can see, the pair has recently broken out (upside) from a nice symmetrical triangle formation. This breakout could swing the pair towards its previous high near the 88.00 marker. Projecting the base of the triangle from the point of breakout, the resulting upside target would be at 88.00 as well. The Aussie\u2019s run, however, may be tempered for awhile because conditions are already overbought. The pair could range or retrace shortly before heading north again. And given it\u2019s recent spike, it could potentially form a flag or a pennant pattern. At present, the AUDJPY pair is trading just above 80.00. Therefore, if it reaches 88.00, that would be a sweet 10% gain (1:1 margin).<\/p>\n
The recent rally in the global equities market and gold\u2019s rush towards fresh all-time high (see my recent post here<\/a>) have helped the commodity dollars like the AUD. For this week, no high impact economic reports are due from Australia. The major releases, though, from the US, Canada, and New Zealand would more likely sway the Aussie\u2019s short term movement. The US Fed, of course, will have its monetary policy decision on September 21. Building permits, new and existing home sales plus durable goods orders are due as well from the US. In Canada, the country\u2019s CPI and retail sales accounts are on deck on September 21 and 22. New Zealand, Australia\u2019s neighbor, will likewise publish its second quarter GDP growth. Risk appetite, resulting from one or all the these accounts could benefit the non-dollar currencies like the Aussie. The opposite, however, would weigh on it. Watch out for these reports!<\/p>\n
