‘The GBP/JPY pair is trading below  55 and above 200 EMA (Short-term) and 365 EMA (long-term) on the 1-hour chart, confirming a mixed trend.  Any violation below 198.55 indicates the intraday trend is weak. A dip to 198.20/197.75/196.70/196.20/195/194/193/191.95/190 is possible.  Immediate resistance is at 199, a breach above this level targets 199.30/ 200/202.
