AUDJPY rallied today with the pair testing the 94.60 resistance zone, shortly after BoJ policy announcement. The zone is marked with 23.6% retracement of the most recent major upward impulse and 50-session moving average (green line). Bulls failed to push the price above this hurdle and the pair started to trim gains. A 94.00 price zone should be seen as a potential short-term support. Source: xStation5
