During the Asian session on Wednesday, the USD/CAD pair rebounded after two days of losses, reaching around 1.3590. This uptick is fueled by a stronger US dollar and lower crude oil prices, which put pressure on the Canadian dollar.

TRADE IDEA: What's Next for Yen Crosses? - 27-12-2022
2022-12-28 • Updated
AUDJPY
The trend in the scenario above is clearly bearish. We have also had a recent break of structure at the marked horizontal arrows, which means we can expect price to react from the supply zone that broke the structure. Coincidentally, the supply zone and the 200-SMA are perfectly aligned around the same area.
CADJPY
After the bearish break of structure, we see price steadily angling towards the supply zone for a retest. The zone of interest also has the 100-SMA and the Fibonacci retracement levels as added confluence.
EURJPY
EURJPY can be seen to have successfully broken out of the wedge pattern with an accompanying break of structure. As a result, price is expected to retest the supply zone that created the break of structure. This means my bias here is also bearish.
GBPJPY
After the initial breakout from the wedge pattern - and break of structure - we see price gliding slowly higher towards the 75% Fibonacci retracement level. The highlighted zone is expected to react away from the supply zone. There is also the notable presence of a trendline resistance around that zone confirming the likelihood of a bearish continuation from the marked spot.
CHFJPY
Overall bias on CHFJPY is bearish, however, there's been a bullish break of structure serving as a confirmation of the market's intention to retest the marked supply area before dropping further.
USDJPY
Price in this scenario is clearly in search of a reliable zone it could actually get to react from. Already the sluggish price action is an indication that momentum is low, therefore, price would be looking for an order-filled region to capture liquidity. The highlighted supply zone is my preferred area of entry though.
