AUD/JPY daily chart

In conclusion, the AUD/JPY pair seems to be in consolidation mode as it struggles to rise above the 20-day SMA. The range between 102.00 and 104.00 may signal future trading movements unless bulls can regain control above the 20-day SMA, pushing towards the 105.00 resistance level. On the positive side for the buyers, there are some signs of a slight deceleration in the bearish activities.
