In U.S. currency trading the previous day, the Canadian dollar rose against the yen. The CAD/JPY pair rose from 109.189 to 110.150, breaking through the resistance line formed by the 200-period SMA on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the pair failed to set a new high and has since pulled back; on the daily chart, the candlestick has reversed just short of the 200 SMA looming overhead. We will be closely monitoring whether the Canadian dollar’s momentum holds during U.S. trading hours.
Among European currencies, the euro emerged as the strongest currency during U.S. trading hours. The euro/yen pair rose from 160.976 to 162.882, breaking well above the upper resistance zone marked by the 200-period SMA on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the RSI rebounded sharply from 22 to 57. However, during today’s Asian trading session, the euro has weakened again and is offsetting yesterday’s gains.
