Current weekly forecast: This outlook covers 18–24 October 2026 and remains valid until 24 October 2026, unless its stated invalidation condition is triggered earlier.
Daily check — 19 October 2026: The latest completed D1 close was 111.719 on 16 October 2026. It remains below the upper formal invalidation level 112.684; the lower calibrated boundary 110.362 is an extension/confirmation boundary. The authored weekly thesis remains valid.
In brief
CAD/JPY has a bearish weekly bias, although bullish H4 momentum and mixed D1 price action could delay or complicate the broader downside structure.
The weekly thesis is controlled by the D1 bearish trend. The 111.366 reference close is below the 111.37874 EMA20, 112.30197 EMA50 and 114.24742 SMA200, while both the EMA50 and SMA200 slopes are falling. That structure keeps the downside case active, but the mixed D1 close sequence means the move is not presenting as a uniformly directional progression.
Momentum adds a qualified rather than decisive signal: D1 RSI is 46.91 and the MACD remains negative at -0.37962, although the positive 0.134335 histogram indicates some improvement relative to the signal relationship. H4 is more constructive, with RSI at 65.08 and positive MACD readings, so a move toward 111.788 and potentially 112.30197 would represent tactical countertrend pressure rather than an automatic change in the D1 thesis.
CAD/JPY D1 technical-analysis context for the weekly forecast. Chart data captured 19 October 2026.
CAD/JPY has a bearish weekly bias, although bullish H4 momentum and mixed D1 momentum make movement toward 110.141 conditional rather than immediate.
The controlling D1 picture remains bearish: the 111.038 close is below the EMA20 at 111.44428, EMA50 at 112.48631 and SMA200 at 114.28803, while both the EMA50 and SMA200 slopes are falling. This establishes a weaker higher-timeframe structure, with 110.553 and 110.141 as the key downside reference levels.
The setup is not one-directional. D1 momentum is mixed, the D1 close sequence is mixed, and H4 is bullish with RSI at 56.07 and a positive MACD histogram, so a recovery toward 111.489 and potentially the ATR-based reference targets at 112.4203 and 112.898 remains a conditional alternative. A completed D1 close above 112.19191 would materially challenge the bearish framework.
