The Canadian Dollar has been trading in a channel up against the Japanese Yen during the past nine months. 

After testing the upper boundary mid-September, the Loonie began its way towards the southern side, thus forming a junior channel in the opposing direction. The senior pattern was reached on November 29 and re-tested once again on Tuesday. 

As apparent on the chart, the Loonie has strengthened significantly during the past sessions. As a result, it breached a trend-line (in red) and dashed through several significant resistance levels. 

There is still some slight upside potential until the 88.60 area. The base scenario, however, favours a subsequent reversal from the junior channel and a period of decline. It is likely that bears prevail until the 55-, 100– and 200-hour SMAs are reached circa 87.80.
