AUDJPY has broken higher after closing above 97.81. RSI is back above the 60 threshold i.e., in positive sentiment supporting higher AUDJPY levels. A test of the 2022 peak at around 95.55 is in the cards

GBPJPY is experiencing volatility around the 189-190 area. Dipped yesterday below 188.65 only to close above indicating a bullish underlying strength.

The positive sentiment on RSI is supporting the bullish picture that could take the GBPJPY to the 1.618 projection at 191.25

A close below 187.85 is likely to reverse the bullish trend. A break below the lower rising trendline could be first warning sign of this scenario to play out
