CADJPY - One of Three Yen Trend Trades
CADJPY is one of three Japanese yen pairs that I held through the weekend. the other two pairs are EURJPY and SGDJPY as they share very similar price action patterns.
The selloff in December 2023 seemed short-lived to me so I found an opportunity to enter long earlier this month. My best guess for the selloff is the collective premature anticipation of interest rate cuts in 2024.
From a price action standpoint, I quickly developed another sentiment. High level summary below:
I'm not the biggest fan of how this pair, along with EURJPY and SGDJPY, closed last week. Seeing two down days certainly poses a risk that this uptrend may not continue for the week ahead.

From a price action standpoint, I quickly developed another sentiment. High level summary below:
- After a retracement, price failed to push to a new lower low.
- The relative low forms a new range boundary.
- Price breaks above the upper range boundary and holds, which signals further upside momentum.
