Looking at the daily chart, we notice on Monday EUR/JPY rallied back to the trading zone 119.78 – 121.19. Hence, buyers may push for a test of the high end of the zone contingent on clearing the daily resistance level underlined on the chart.
A close above the high end may convince more buyers to join the market and push towards 122.52. Although, the upside move could weaken at the weekly resistance levels marked at the chart as some buyers might take profits at these levels.
On the flipside, a close below the low end of the zone would mean buyer’s hesitation and could open the way for sellers to take charge and press towards 117.30. Nevertheless, the weekly support levels underscored on the chart should be considered, as they could be possible exit points for some sellers.

GBP/JPY Daily PRice CHART (Sep 23 – Nov 29, 2019) Zoomed In
From the daily chart, we notice on Tuesday GBP/JPY rallied back to the higher zone 140.50- 143.09. The price could be on its way for a test of the high end of the zone. Although, buyers should clear first the weekly resistance area marked on the chart.
It’s worth noting that, buyers failed to keep rallying the price above the upper line of the rectangle pattern. Yet, if GBPJPY breaks and remains above 141.51 this could lead the price to rally above 143.50.
Additionally, a close above 143.19 could embolden buyers to keep pushing GBPJPY towards the vicinity of 144.80-94.
That said, any close below the low end of the zone would mean buyer’s pullback and exit from the market. This could lead the price towards 139.00. Further close below this level could open the door for sellers to take the lead and press towards the vicinity of 136.40-28. In that scenario, the daily and weekly support levels underlined on the chart should be kept in focus.
