AUD/JPY: The AUD/JPY pair is now testing the upper level of the Kumo. Any successful attempt to move higher will fuel the pair towards the Kijun sen level and even higher towards the previous peak. On the other hand, a reversal back would lead the market deeper within the cloud.
Market View
As the crisis continues in Turkey, yesterday USDTRY dropped from about 18.30 to 12.50 in a matter of hours. Finally, it settled at around 13.40 which marks a drop of about 30%. The drop came as a result of President Erdogan’s offering to floor lira deposits at zero percent returns again some other currency. There are not many details out in the media of how this offering will work, and if it has any material effect in the currency, remains to be seen.
