AUDJPY is trading around 1% lower today, as AUD is the worst performing G10 currency and JPY is a leader among majors.
AUD is weakening following release of Australian CPI data for Q4 2023, which showed inflation slowing from 5.4% YoY to 4.1% YoY (exp. 4.3% YoY). This, in turn, boosted market pricing for RBA rate cut, with June cut probability now priced at 70%, up from around 50% yesterday.

The document has been rather vague overall, but it showed that one of BoJ members said that the Bank may be forced to sharply tighten policy if the decision to exit negative rates comes too late. While this is not a concrete statement in any way, it was enough to reignite market hopes for an imminent hawkish pivot from the Bank of Japan.
Taking a look at AUDJPY chart at H4 interval, we can see that the pair slumped below the upward trendline that marked the lower limit of an ascending triangle pattern. Textbook range of the downside breakout from the pattern suggests a possibility of a move to as low as 95.00 area.
