AUD/JPY weekly chart tees up an interesting turnaround

Technical Analysis

The pair finishes higher on the week

I love a dragon fly doji like the one on the AUD/JPY chart this week.

It’s a classic sign of uncertainty and a potentially violent reversal. The week started with lockdowns in Australia and broad risk aversion but it’s ending with the S&P 500 at all time highs.

What’s notable is that all the yen cross weekly charts are similarly intriguing.
