J-GBPJPY
GJ Key Resistance at 193 – Potential for a Short-Term PullbackThe GBP/JPY (GJ) currency pair has been riding a strong bullish trend over the past weeks, but we are currently approaching a crucial technical level around the 193.00 mark. This level has acted as a significant resistance zone in the past, and recent price action suggests that we could see a potential rejection here, leading to a short-term correction.
Key Technical Factors
Historical Resistance at 193.00: Looking at the higher timeframes (daily and 4H charts), we can clearly see that the 193.00 level has acted as a strong resistance in the past. The price has tested this zone multiple times without being able to break above it sustainably. With GBP/JPY now retesting this area, the probability of a pullback increases, especially given the overextended bullish momentum.
Bearish Divergence: On the 4H chart, there are signs of bearish RSI divergence. While the price has been making higher highs, the RSI is showing lower highs, indicating weakening momentum. This divergence often precedes price reversals or corrections.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels: If we take the latest leg of the bullish move from the 187.50 region up to the current high at 193.00, we see that the 50% Fibonacci retracement level sits around 190.25. This could serve as a key support area if the price corrects from the resistance.
Psychological Resistance: The 193.00 level also holds psychological significance as traders may be locking in profits, especially after such a strong bullish rally. Coupled with potential profit-taking, the combination of technical and psychological factors strengthens the case for a pullback.
Potential Trading Strategy
Given these confluences, a short trade could be considered from around the 193.00 level, targeting lower Fibonacci retracement levels for profit-taking. Here's a potential strategy:
Entry: Around 193.00 resistance.
Take Profit Levels:
191.00 (initial support zone)
190.25 (50% Fibonacci retracement)
Stop Loss: Above the previous high at 194.00 to manage risk.
This trade idea aligns with the expectation that the market may see a healthy correction before deciding whether to break through the resistance or continue consolidating.
Key Risk Considerations
Fundamental Factors: Traders should keep an eye on key economic events and news affecting GBP and JPY, such as Bank of England statements or risk sentiment in global markets. Strong bullish news could invalidate this technical setup.
Breakout Possibility: If the price breaks above the 193.00 resistance with strong momentum and volume, the bearish outlook could be invalidated. In this case, waiting for a confirmed breakout and retest before re-entering the market would be more prudent.

GBPJPY: 200-SMA again challenges buyers amid sluggish week-startGBPJPY reached a one-month high but then pulled back from the 200-day moving average (SMA) as traders get ready for important news this week, including PMIs and the US jobs report. The US and Canadian Labor Day holidays are allow the cross-currency pair to consolidate the previous weekly gains, especially amid the cautious mood in the market.
GBPJPY buyers slowly tighten their grip…
Although the 200-SMA has been restricting the GBPJPY pair’s upside momentum since mid-July, a higher low formation in the last fortnight signals that the buyers are gradually winning over. Also, the bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI conditions add strength to the upside bias.
Key technical levels to watch…
Given the 200-SMA’s repeated attempts to stall the GBPJPY upside, the buyers are advised to wait for a daily break past the key moving average, around 192.25, to take fresh long positions. Following that, the 50% and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the quote’s December 2023 to July 2024 upside, respectively near 193.30 and 196.75, will lure the bulls. It’s worth noting, however, that a seven-month-old previous support line, close to 199.00, quickly followed by the 200.00 psychological magnet, could test the upside momentum.
Meanwhile, a drop below the immediate rising support line at about 190.70 could lead to further declines. Next support levels are around 190.00 and 188.00, with potential further drops to 184.80 and 182.50 before reaching a new yearly low around 180.10.
Looking ahead…
With the US and Canadian holidays and upcoming key economic data, GBPJPY might stabilize in the short term. However, if the market reacts negatively to the data, the bullish trend could be challenged.
GBPJPY bulls need validation from 192.00 and Japan dataThe GBPJPY currency pair is making gains as it moves within a two-week upward trend, showing renewed optimism early on Tuesday. This rise supports the bullish trend that started in early August and counters the previous indecision seen last week.
Currently, GBPJPY is trading above the 100-day moving average and has broken through a six-week-old downward resistance line, which now acts as support. The steady RSI also adds to the positive outlook. For the bullish trend to continue, GBPJPY needs to break above the upper boundary of the ongoing triangle pattern, near 192.00. If this happens, the next significant hurdle will be the 200-day moving average at 194.55. A break above this could push prices toward the late July high of around 199.50 and possibly even the 200.00 mark.
On the downside, key support levels are around 189.80, 188.65 (100-day moving average), and 186.50 (previous resistance line). If GBPJPY falls below 186.50, it could drop to the monthly low of 180.10.
Besides technical factors, GBPJPY buyers should also watch for upcoming data releases on Tokyo inflation, Japan's industrial production, unemployment rate, and retail trade this Thursday.
GBPJPY rebound appears elusive below 200-SMAGBPJPY portrays a corrective bounce off the lowest level in seven months while recovering from a 10-month-old ascending support line. The rebound also takes clues from the oversold RSI (14) line and the market’s consolidation mode after a heavy slump. While the aforementioned clues suggest a continuation of the quote’s further recovery, the bearish MACD signals and the pair’s successful trading below the 200-SMA support of 191.80 keep the sellers hopeful. Even if the buyers manage to cross the 200-SMA hurdle, a previous support line from March 2023, near 194.50 by the press time, will act as the final defense of the bears before giving control to the bulls.
On the contrary, rising trend lines from July and October of 2023, close to 182.50 and 180.00 in that order, restrict the short-term downside of the GBPJPY pair. Following that, the December 2023 low of 178.30 and the July 2023 low near 176.30 will entertain the pair sellers. It’s worth noting, however, that the quote’s sustained weakness past 176.30 will make it vulnerable to slump toward the 170.00 psychological magnet.
Overall, GBPJPY consolidates the previous heavy fall but the resumption of a bullish trend is far from the table.
GBPJPYPound did really get hit a lot. Now I would like to see some retracement to come into at least 50% of that Daily Trading Range and with Yen being that strong, some retracement seems reasonable. Drop to Smaller timeframes and identify the structure, if you will enter put Stop Loss below that buy zone or depends on the approach you would like to take. Another view in the comment. Nice setup overall!
