  "account": "During the early European session on Monday, the AUD/JPY exchange rate was found to be trading negatively at around 114.50. This decline in the pair can be attributed to the stronger performance of the Japanese Yen (JPY) against the Australian Dollar (AUD). This strengthening of the JPY is due to Japan's annual core Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate, which increased for the third consecutive month in August. This data reinforced expectations that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) could potentially raise interest rates as early as September.\n\nThe hawkish remarks from BoJ Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino, who highlighted increasing inflation risks, further fueled this expectation. Most market participants anticipate the BOJ to raise its policy rate to 1.25% during the upcoming policy meeting.\n\nHowever, despite the AUD/JPY declining to near 114.50, it maintains a bullish outlook above the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The currency pair is currently pressing into the upper half of the Bollinger band, with the upper band acting as immediate overhead supply. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 63.27 also suggests sustained buying pressure rather than outright overbought conditions.\n\nIf there is follow-through buying above the August 26 high of 114.96, the next target would be the Bollinger upper band at 115.20. The next significant hurdle to watch would be the psychological level of 116.00.",
