Last weekend, following the release of Canada’s January employment report—which showed the unemployment rate falling to 5.0%—the Canadian dollar emerged as the strongest currency. The CAD/JPY pair rose by approximately 2 yen, from 96.623 to 98.553.During today’s Asian trading session, the trend from last weekend has continued, with the yen remaining weak. From a technical perspective, the CAD/JPY pair has broken above the 20-day moving average (MA) on the daily chart and is forming higher lows. Since the +3σ line of the Bollinger Bands is trending upward, we should keep an eye on whether this upward momentum continues.
Among European currencies, the pound rose against the euro. The euro/pound pair fell from 0.8871 to 0.8823.A downtrend has emerged along the 4-hour 10-MA. During last weekend’s decline, the EUR/GBP pair briefly dipped below the 4-hour 200-SMA but ultimately found support there. Therefore, we need to remain vigilant regarding the direction of the market—will a rebound occur, leading to a new recent high?
