FxWirePro- CADJPY Trade Idea

CAD/JPY showed a minor pullback on strong Canadian GDP data.  It hit a high of 105.82 and is currently trading around 105.26.

Canada's GDP numbers, released today at 12:30 PM GMT, showed a 0.4% increase in February 2025, outpacing the forecast of a 0.1% decline, driven by solid performances in wholesale trade, oil and gas extraction, and mining. The sharp growth, from a 0.3% increase in January, shows that the Canadian economy is strong despite global and local challenges. The unexpected enlargement would be positive for market mood and future monetary policy measures by the Bank of Canada.

Technical Analysis

CAD/JPY is currently trading above the 34- and 55-EMA on the 4-hour chart. The immediate resistance is at 106; a breach above this level could shift targets to 107.40/108/108.35/109.30/110. On the lower side, near-term support is at 104.70 and a break below this support could lead to declines toward 103.74/103/102/101.50.
