CAD/JPY – Long Trade Idea

Technical

CAD/JPY is currently in an uptrend, forming higher highs and higher lows.

Prices are currently testing a key daily resistance at 78.368. Recent candles on the 1-hour timeframe are showing bullish rejections from this zone, indicating a possible move higher.

However there is scope for prices to create a leg lower and test the rising ascending trendline as illustrated in the image above. This will likely be the case if prices cannot sustain a break above that 78.368 level.

Fundamental

As mentioned in our latest CAD report (check: USD/CAD – The Worst Is Over) , the Canadian Dollar should continue its upside.

This is supported by rising Oil prices, continued economic policy packages from the Bank of Canada and a positive tone towards global economic recovery.

Trade Details
