Highlights

CAD/JPY continues to trade below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating sustained downward pressure.
Momentum indicators such as MACD and ADX issue strong sell signals, with the pair nearing oversold territory and showing persistent downside momentum.
The expected five-day trading range is ¥110 to ¥111.69, with a greater than 80% probability of further declines and minimal risk of a reversal.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees CAD/JPY locked in a pronounced bearish phase. The pair remains under all major moving averages, with strong technical indicators pointing to persistent downside. With no supporting macro news to suggest a reversal, selling pressure appears unbroken. Structural weakness and lack of positive sentiment reinforce caution. "Downside risks remain elevated, and any short-term rebound should be viewed skeptically until key resistance levels are overtaken."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, notes that despite the recent correction, the market structure offers prospective setups for forward-looking traders. He emphasizes the high probability of consolidation providing new entry points if momentum shifts. The absence of negative news flow could help set the stage for a future recovery. "Market participants should consider potential reversals above ¥111.69 as the next opportunity, since underlying demand could quickly return."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes the technical breakdown below key averages as a confirmation of near-term weakness. Still, he points to oversold indicators and neutral short-term oscillators as signals for possible tactical counter-trend trades. Mehta suggests monitoring intraday divergences for fast contrarian entries. "If the pair holds above ¥110, I'd watch for a sharp bounce — risk-reward could attract agile traders."

Bearish structure affirmed as selling pressure and oversold signals dominate

CAD/JPY is trading below its 20-day (¥111.82), 50-day (¥113.24), and 200-day (¥114.64) moving averages, indicating persistent pressure from sellers across all timeframes. The near-term ceiling for the pair stands at ¥110.99, with support expected near ¥110. Overall structure remains bearish, supported by a bearish alignment between the MA-50 and MA-200. Momentum indicators confirm the prevailing downside: the MACD suggests a strong sell, and the ADX also signals ongoing downside momentum. RSI is at 36.23 and forecast to sell, indicating the pair is nearing oversold territory, as reinforced by the CCI at -55.28. Stochastic RSI is neutral, while Bull/Bear Power (BBP) reflects marginal buyer control, with an oversold bias. The Awesome Oscillator calls for some caution, as intermittent intraday buying persists.

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent downside momentum and a lack of technical support left the Canadian Dollar vulnerable to further losses against the Yen. This view is reinforced by the current data, which highlights the continued dominance of bearish signals and identifies the ¥110 level as a critical threshold for potential downside risk in the days ahead.
