In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the Canadian dollar fell against the yen after Canada’s February international merchandise trade figures, released yesterday, came in lower than expected at -1.52 billion CAD, down from 3.97 billion CAD the previous month. The CAD/JPY pair fell from 104.876 to 103.293.The decline occurred as the pair encountered resistance at the 75-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. On the 4-hour chart, the candlesticks have fallen to the -2σ level of the Bollinger Bands, and on the daily chart, the price has shifted from above the 20-period MA to below it.
