GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Waiting for Follow-Through

Talking Points:

  • GBP/JPY Technical Strategy: Short at 192.83

  • Support: 190.91, 187.85, 185.37

  • Resistance: 192.80, 194.93, 195.87

The British Pound turned lower against the Japanese Yen as expected, breaking support guiding the uptrend since mid-April. Near-term support is at 190.91, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 187.85. Alternatively, a turn back above the 14.6% Fib at 192.80 opens the door for a challenge of support-turned-resistance at 194.33, a recently broken channel floor.

We sold GBPJPY at 192.83, initially targeting 190.91. A stop-loss will be activated on a daily close above 194.33. We will take profit on half of the position and move the stop to the breakeven level (192.83) once the first objective is met.
