Analysis






The GBP/JPY has come under heavy selling pressure during the past few hours of trading, triggering an oversold RSI signal in the process. After finding near-term resistance around 193.55, price action has broken below the channel to hold around 187.55.

Our analysis suggests that the pair should move to trade within the channel over the next few hours, and we may see the pound-yen hitting resistance near 192.58 (21.4% Fib level). The downward momentum should be able to carry the GBP/JPY below 187.00 over the next few trading sessions, and we expect the pair to test for support at around 185.85 over the following weeks.
