In U.S. currency trading the previous day, the Canadian dollar rose against the Japanese yen as the yen weakened. The CAD/JPY pair rose by approximately 140 pips from 104.544 to 105.933, rebounding to just short of the 20-period moving average on the 4-hour chart.The pair is attempting to rise again during today’s Asian session, and since it is technically forming higher lows, if it breaks above the recent high of 105.933 with a real-body candle on the 4-hour chart or longer timeframe, we would like to follow the upward trend.
European currencies rose, with the euro gaining against the yen after yesterday’s release of September industrial production data for the eurozone showed a year-over-year increase of 4.9%, a significant rise from the market forecast of 2.9%.The EUR/JPY pair rose by approximately 180 pips, from 143.470 to 145.238, showing a stronger rebound compared to U.S. currencies. Since the rebound was supported by the 75-day moving average (MA) on the daily chart, we will be watching closely to see if the rally continues heading into U.S. trading hours.
