In U.S. currency trading the previous day, the Canadian dollar rose slightly against the yen. The CAD/JPY pair rose from 109.919 to 110.690. It moved from below the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart to above it.On the 4-hour chart, the 20-period moving average (MA) is firmly acting as a support level, while on the daily chart, the price has broken above the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA) with a real body candle and is now attempting to break through the resistance provided by the 200-period simple moving average (SMA).
Among European currencies, the pound rose during U.S. trading hours to become the strongest currency. The GBP/JPY pair rose from 198.052 to 199.703. The hourly RSI rose from 41 to 70.On the 4-hour chart, the pair rebounded firmly upon touching the 20-period moving average, and on the daily chart, the price has extended to the +2σ level of the Bollinger Bands; therefore, it will be worth watching to see if the pound’s rally continues during U.S. trading hours.
Today’s schedule includes the Australian Consumer Price Index at 9:30, Thailand’s Manufacturing Production Index at 13:00, Japan’s Consumer Sentiment Index at 14:00, France’s Real GDP at 15:30, Switzerland’s KOF Leading Index at 17:00, Germany’sunemployment rate, at 5:00 PM Swiss remarks by SNB President Schlegel, at 9:15 PM U.S. ADP Employment Report, at 9:30 PM U.S. Q3 GDP, at 10:00 PM German Consumer Price Index, at 11:00 PM U.S. Pending Home Sales,at 11:30 PM: U.S. weekly crude oil inventories, and at 5:15 AM: remarks by BOC Governor Maclean.
