The USD/JPY 60 min chart has shown a clear downtrend channel of a 200 pips-range. On Mar 13, storng downward pressure bounced the pair out of the channel and established a remakable low price at 99.75. The pair did not break the support level at 99.75 although it tried twice. That could be seen as a “Double Bottom Pattern” where a bounce back is often seen.
The downtrend line is not likely to end any time soon. However, the pair is now trying to get back inside the projected line of the downtrend channel. Once the pair gets back inside the channel, it might move upwards. The 102.00 region would be considered as a traget. If we see further bearish momentum, the price between 99.80 and 100.00 would be a good entry for a long position.

USD/CAD established a record low at 0.9323 at 13:45 GMT on Friday at Nov 2nd. What strengthens the CAD? Just a relative strengthdriven by the US prolonged recesion? Although the answer is not simple, several points can be considered. First thing that we should consider is the unprecedented high oil price. Canada is the world´s fourteenth largest producer of oil. A strong oil demand appreciates, or is bullish fot the CAD. Second , Canada is one of the world´s leading industrialized nations that did not send troops to Iraq. So Canada does not have any geopolitical risk so far. Substantive economic data clearly shows the growth of the Canadian Economy. The net change in employment rose by 63.0 K from previous 51.1 K.
The pair has kept drawing a clear downtrend line within a 130 pips range. On Friday, as the net change in employment and the unemployment rate released, USD/CAD showed a 130 pips fall.
The downtrend line is not likely to end any time soon. However, the pair is now back inside the projected line of the downtrend channel (third line), so it might get some support from here.

The small fluctuation within a 70 pips-range has been seen after Monday due to the fact that next week we have the important economic data (the Fed´s interest rate announcement and the Non-Farm Payrolls) that leads to the hightened alert for the pair.

USD/CAD has established a historical rearod, while the EUR/USD smashes its own record high almost every day. This is because not only the U.S. credit crisis but also various factors, like the high oil price, the overall U.S.ecnomic ressesion , the enormous current-account deficit, and the relative weakness of U.S.status. USD/CAD has drawn a gradual down trend line since March. The pair had moved sideways around the price at 1.0567 from June to September. In the mid Sept, however, the pair fell down again with a new all-time low set today, October 5, @ 0.9850. It is unclear if this low will be a bottom for the USD or not.
