AUD/JPY Technical Analysis: Pennant breakdown has exposed 200-hour MA support

• The pennant breakdown seen in the AUD/JPY hourly chart validates yesterday's big inverted hammer candle and indicates a bullish-to-bearish trend change, that is, the rally from the Sept. 7 low of 78.68 has ended.
• The bearish setup has likely opened up downside toward the 200-hour moving average (MA) support of 81.47.
• A convincing daily close above 82.00 would signal a revival of the rally from 78.68.
