Technical Analysis: Bearish Flag Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The AUD\/JPY currency pair is currently trading within a bearish flag pattern,<\/a> a technical formation that suggests the continuation of a preceding downtrend. This pattern is characterised by a steep decline (the flagpole) followed by a consolidation phase marked by parallel support and resistance lines, forming the ’flag’. A breakout below the support level of the flag could signal a resumption of the prior bearish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Support Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As AUD\/JPY approaches a potential breakdown, two critical support levels are worth noting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. First Support Level<\/strong>: Positioned around 93.59, this level represents the immediate downside target if the pair breaks below the flag\u2019s lower boundary. A sustained move below this point could confirm the bearish continuation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Second Support Level<\/strong>: Found at 90.13, this is a major psychological level and aligns with previous structural support from late August. A test of this level would likely attract significant market attention.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Central Bank Policies: RBA and BoJ Divergence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The policy divergence between the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) is a major driver of AUD\/JPY\u2019s bearish outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
