As of writing, the CAD/JPY trades at 104.96, nearby the weekly low of 104.79.

CAD/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The CAD/JPY daily chart portrays the pair as upward biased, similar to the AUD/JPY pair case published here. Even though the CAD/JPY edged lower, as long as it remains above the Ichimoku Cloudthe uptrend remains in place. But some mixed signals suggest caution is warranted, like prices sliding below the Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen lines and the Chikou Span about to turn bearish can pave the way for further losses.

If CAD/JPY continues to drop, the June 7 daily high of 104.88 will be the first support level to challenge. A breach of the latter will expose the 104.00 mark, followed by the June 8 daily low of 103.70.

Conversely, the CAD/JPY first resistance would be 105.00 for a bullish continuation. Once cleared, the next resistance emerges at the June 13 daily high of 105.45, followed by the July 12 daily high of 106.11. the next resistance level would be the Kijun-Sen line at 106.60 before the Tenkan-Sen at 107.09.

AUD/USD bulls regain control above 0.6950 amid USD retreat

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday. The overnight pullback in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar below an 18-month high, which in turn offers some support to the pair. Meanwhile, hawkish RBA expectations also keep the major underpinned.

USD/JPY holds gains near 158.00 after Japan's weak Household Spending data

USD/JPY clings to gains around 158.00 after data showed on Friday that Japan's Household Spending fell for the ninth straight month, undermining the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains depressed as the overnight fall in US bond yields counters a hawkish Fed and geopolitical uncertainties, could cap any downside in the pair.

Gold remains range-bound below $4,200

Gold has given up some ground after an initial bullish attempt to reach weekly highs, returning to below the $4,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The US Dollar’s strong upside momentum, combined with rising US Treasury yields across the curve, seems to keep further gains in the yellow metal under scrutiny.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?

The Euro is not the sick man of Europe. France's bond market is

EUR/USD remains under pressure, near the 17-month low of 1.1161 reached on Monday. The pair has lost more than 7% since its yearly peak, as concerns over France's public finances increasingly weigh on the single currency. But behind the weakness of the Euro (EUR), the problem does not necessarily lie with the European economy as a whole.
