In the U.S. currency market the previous day, the Canadian dollar fell against the yen. The CAD/JPY pair fell from 113.478 to 113.065. It formed lower highs and lower lows along the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the pair is in a downtrend along the 10-period moving average (MA), and on the daily chart, the price has broken below the support line formed by the 20-period MA—which had previously provided support—with a real-body candle. On the monthly chart, prices are trending downward after failing to reach the high from two years ago, so traders should watch for further weakness in the Canadian dollar during U.S. trading hours.
Among European currencies, the Swiss franc continued to fall against the yen. The CHF/JPY pair fell from 197.236 to 196.384.The pair declined along the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. Similar price action was observed on the 4-hour chart, and on the daily chart, the pair has fallen for three consecutive days and is now at a critical juncture, poised to break below the 20-period MA line that had been providing support. Furthermore, on the weekly chart, the pair has pulled back from the +2σ level of the Bollinger Bands, so caution is warranted regarding the possibility of further declines heading into the weekend.
