With the U.S. dollar generally weakening against the yen the previous day, the Canadian dollar rose against the yen. The CAD/JPY pair rose from 103.959 to 105.487, moving in line with the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the pair broke through the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) line—which had appeared to act as resistance—without hesitation, and on the daily chart, it has set a new high for the month. We will need to monitor price movements during U.S. trading hours to see if the Canadian dollar’s strength continues.
Among European currencies, the euro fell against the U.S. dollar for the fourth consecutive day. The euro/dollar exchange rate dropped from 1.0858 to 1.0782.On the hourly chart, the price has moved from above the 20-period moving average (MA) to below it. On the 4-hour chart, the downtrend along the 20-period MA continues, and on the daily chart, the price has closed below the 10-period MA, which had appeared to be providing support. We will need to monitor the direction of the euro to see if its weakness continues during U.S. trading hours.
