The USD/JPY currency pair
- Prev Open: 108.73
- Prev Close: 108.95
- % chg. over the last day: +0.20%
On Friday, the USD/JPY currency pair increased by 0.2% and at the end of the trading session tried to break through the dynamic moving average. There is a new psychological resistance level of 109. Together with the moving line, this level will be a tough obstacle for the buyers.

- Resistance levels: 109.00, 109.40, 109.64, 109.95, 110.51
On the H1 timeframe, the trend remains bearish, and the price is trading below the moving average. The MACD indicator has become inactive.

The USD/CAD currency pair
- Prev Open: 1.2056
- Prev Close: 1.2065
- % chg. over the last day: +0.07%
The USD/CAD currency pair began to form a balanced structure which may eventually lead to a reversal of the general downtrend. On Friday, the price has formed a false breakthrough of the 1.2048 support level with a return on impulsive move.
- Support levels: 1.2048, 1.1944
- Resistance levels: 1.2137, 1.2251, 1.2321, 1.2388, 1.2414, 1.2519
The price is trading below the moving average, the trend remains bearish. But there are signs of divergence on the MACD indicator. At the moment the best strategy for the USD/CAD currency pair is to stay out of the position. It is possible to sell within the trend, if the price will consolidate below the support level of 1.2048 again. It is too early to look for long positions, since there is no significant initiative from the buyers.
Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.2137 resistance level and fixes above, a local corrective uptrend is likely to form.
