GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Targeting Above 181.00 Figure

GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Targeting Above 181.00 Figure

Talking Points:

  • GBP/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 179.94, 178.74, 177.26
  • Resistance: 181.14, 182.62, 185.01

The British Pound resumed its push higher against the Japanese Yen after a brief bout of consolidation, with buyers aiming above the 181.00 figure. Near-term resistance is at 181.14, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 76.4% level at 182.62. Alternatively, a turn below the 50% Fib at 179.94 clears the way for a challenge of the 23.6% retracement at 177.26.

The available trading range is too narrow to justify entering a trade on the long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now, waiting for price action to offer a more compelling opportunity down the road.
