That is a dying or dead juniper. I assume you kept it inside? If so that is what killed it. Another possibility is the wiring.
Heard to see on the pictures but there could be some life in it. Unwire , place it outside and hope.Do not give fertiliser, water not on a schedule but when soil feels dry to the touch

Where do you keep this? If it is outside: What is the weather like?

Juniper can take on a dull bronze tone when exposed to sun & frost. This is normal. In spring, once temperatures come back up, the tree over a period of a few weeks will green up and becomes bright green again.

Then again, as indicated above, something else might be going on. I personally prefer to not disturb a tree that has been damaged, and removing wire also damages the tree. So I would leave the wire on, if it turns out that is the problem.

Start by going through the options of what is happening. Only once you are certain what is happening, take actions.
