CADJPY Rally Continues

Following the brief consolidation around the bull channel top, price has since broken out above the 90.69 level and is sitting atop the channel also. While above here, the focus is on a further push higher towards the 91.60 level next. MACD and RSI are both showing bearish divergence here, however, so be aware for any dip below the 90.69 level. Below there, 89.24 is the next support to note. With oil prices moving higher here and equities remaining supported, there is still room for CAD to move higher here while JPY should remain weak due to reduced safe haven inflows.

Key Data to Watch

The next key release to keep an eye on is Canadian employment data on Friday. The market is looking for the unemployment rate to move up slightly to 8.2% from the prior month’s 8.1% reading. If the rate does increase, this could stifle any further upside in the short term. Alternatively, a strong reading should act as a driver for fresh gains.
