In the U.S. currency market the previous day, the Canadian dollar continued to fall against the yen. The CAD/JPY pair dropped from 107.426 to 106.581.A pullback occurred upon touching the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. On the 4-hour chart, the pair is in the process of breaking below the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) that had been providing support, and on the daily chart, it is on the verge of breaking through the support line formed by the 200-period SMA.
