In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the Canadian dollar rose against the yen after Canada’s December Consumer Price Index, released yesterday, showed a year-over-year increase of 2.4%, up 0.2 percentage points from the previous month’s 2.2%. The CAD/JPY pair rose from 113.287 to 114.082.On the hourly chart, the price moved from the -2σ to the +2σ Bollinger Band. On the 4-hour chart, the RSI rose from 40 to 55. On the daily chart, the candlesticks have rebounded from below the 20-day moving average (MA) back to above it.
Among European currencies, the pound rose against the U.S. dollar. The GBP/USD pair rose from 1.3343 to 1.3433. A rebound was observed along the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the 200-period SMA is acting as a support level, leading to a rebound, and on the daily chart, prices have reversed near the 75-period MA; the pound’s strength continues to build during today’s Asian trading session.
