AUD/JPY downside compelling on bullish yen
AUD/JPY has rebounded from the lows of 77.58 and grapples with the 2016 support (now resistance) line around the mid point of the 0.79 handle.

Gold on the verge of making a full come back for 2016 printing new highs today of $1,263.03 and oil is making fresh lows of $26.20 . Given AUD/JPY's close correlation to risk, the downside has further to go should such fundamentals persist.
