CAD/JPY continues to fall after the earlier breakout of the daily Rising Wedge chart pattern which was previously identified by Autochartist. Autochartist rates the quality of this Rising Wedge at the 7 bar level – which reflects the average Initial Trend (5 bars), lower Uniformity (4 bars) and maximum Clarity (10 bar). CAD/JPY is expected to continue to fall toward the forecast price 86.38 – in line with the earlier downward reversal from the resistance zone shown below.
As can be seen from the weekly CAD/JPY chart below, the the top of this Rising Wedge formed when the price reversed down from the powerful resistance zone lying between the major resistance level 88.70 (which reversed the price twice in 2016), upper weekly Bollinger Band and the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the downward impulse from 2015. The proximity of this resistance zone increases the probability CAD/JPY will soon reach the forecast price 86.38.
