AUD/JPY has spent much of 2026 trading in a range, with buyers consistently defending the 109.00-109.50 support zone and sellers repeatedly emerging near 114.20-115.00 resistance.

The latest decline from the September highs has brought price back toward the lower end of that range, placing the pair at a key technical level ahead of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) decision.

109.00–109.50 Demand Zone Remains Key

The chart highlights a well-established support area around 109.00-109.50, where buyers have previously stepped in on multiple occasions.

The current test is notable because it follows another rejection from the upper resistance zone near 115.00, reinforcing the broader range structure that has contained price action for several months.

For now, buyers are attempting to defend this support region once again.

111.00 Level Turns Into Immediate Resistance

The dashed horizontal line around 111.00 has acted as a key pivot throughout the year.

After the recent sell-off, the price has now fallen below this level, making it immediate resistance. Any recovery attempt will likely need to reclaim the 111.00 area before bullish momentum can rebuild.

RSI Near Oversold Territory

The RSI has fallen to approximately 31, its lowest reading since the August selloff.

While not yet showing a strong bullish reversal signal, the indicator suggests downside momentum has become increasingly stretched as price approaches a major support zone.

This combination of weak momentum and key support often attracts increased attention from traders.

BoJ in Focus

The upcoming BoJ decision adds another layer of uncertainty to the setup.AUD/JPY is particularly sensitive to shifts in Japanese monetary policy because changes in rate expectations directly affect yen-funded carry trades. Any surprise from the BoJ could trigger volatility around the current support area and influence whether the existing range continues to hold.
