Hello,
New to bonsai but i have been doing a good amount of research. I first bought my Juniper Procumben in late December 28th of 2019. It still has the wiring and its training pot. Around January i started noticing that some of the leaves were turning brown, i was watering every night without skipping a day. Im not sure if it was because of over watering that my tree is dying or is it something else? I live jn california bay area where temps drop to 35 degrees at most. And i place it the tree where it gets sunlight from 8am to noon. I will show pictures of when i first bought it , till late January photos of it being a bit brown. Please someone help identify what i am doing wrong. Thank you

My junipers are outside, in the Netherlands, where it rains a lot. Not ideal, but they manage.
Seems your plant is in well-draining soil and the cause may not be overwatering, but you pruning, wiring, shaping and repotting a young plant without giving it the chance to recover from each of these actions first.

So is it dying? Do i let it recover by removing the wiring? Keep it in the same pot this year? Please give me as much information as possible! Id hate to let any tree die and i want to know how to grow them right.

Doesn't look like it.

No, just leave the plant be and give it proper care and time.
