Analysis

The GBPJPY has held within a broad range between 184.00 and 197.50 throughout September, and may offer profitable opportunities for forex traders. The pair touched an intraday high of 197.42 on 9/24, and has come under considerable selling pressures to hold near the lower-end of the range.

After finding near-term support around 187.17 (21.4% Fib level of 184.46-197.42), and the pound-yen has rebounded over the past few hours. I anticipate the pair to test the 9/18 high of 192.05 for resistance over the few days, but expect the underlying downtrend to lead the pair lower over the week.
