Highlights

CAD/JPY trades below key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, confirming prevailing bearish momentum across all timeframes.
Technical indicators such as MACD and ADX confirm strong downside signals, with RSI and CCI both showing oversold conditions.
The expected five-day price range is ¥110.79 to ¥111.91, with a 78% probability of a move lower unless ¥111.43 resistance is breached.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees CAD/JPY stuck in a clear downtrend. He notes that the bounce is driven by oversold relief rather than genuine buying conviction. The pair remains capped below all major moving averages, with technical and momentum signals staying negative. Absence of supporting news or macro catalysts undercuts the case for a reversal. "I see little justification for optimism as sellers remain firmly in control and oversold conditions alone cannot build a sustainable rally," Kharitonov states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes CAD/JPY’s structure reveals tactical opportunity despite recent weakness. He expects oversold conditions to attract buyers and present setups for short-term gains. Karapetjanc highlights that the market may reward proactive positioning above ¥111.43 if momentum shifts. The lack of negative newsflow leaves room for renewed bullish sentiment. "A sustained move above resistance could enable a quick extension to ¥111.91, so I see the market as primed for tactical longs in the coming days," Karapetjanc says.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, views CAD/JPY as directionless but sensitive to short-term technical triggers. The pair remains inside a defined volatility band, with bearish signals countered by possible intraday rebounds. He notes contrarian trades could emerge if the pair closes above ¥111.43. "If technical resistance cracks, tactical buyers might exploit a fast upside swing, but downside protection remains essential," Mehta comments.

Bearish momentum persists as averages resist and sellers dominate

CAD/JPY remains below its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages at ¥111.43, ¥112.98, and ¥114.56, reflecting persistent bearish momentum across short-, medium-, and long-term trends. Immediate resistance sits at ¥111.43, with the Ichimoku Kijun at ¥111.56 also functioning as a near-term ceiling, while support is found at ¥111.33. Momentum indicators remain negative as MACD and ADX both signal "Sell." The RSI at 38.75 and CCI at -82.64 both indicate a downside bias with oversold conditions, though the Stochastic RSI suggests some potential for a short-term bounce. Bull/Bear Power at -0.1 highlights continued seller dominance and an oversold market profile, while intraday moves reflect mostly oversold relief rather than a broad trend reversal.

In a recent review, analysts highlighted short-term resilience for CAD/JPY amid mixed technical signals and anticipated price consolidation. The current analysis signals increased downside risk given persistent bearish momentum, with traders advised to watch for a break below ¥110.79 as a trigger for further weakness.
