GBPJPY pared some of its gains after weak US CPI data. The pair lost its shine on the strong yen. US dollar tumbled sharply against all majors especially Pound sterling preventing the pair from further downside. Technically in the 4-hour chart, the pair is holding below short-term 21-EMA, 55 EMA, and long-term 200 EMA (163.38). Any violation above 162.80 will take the pair to the next level 163.65/164. GBPJPY hits an intraday low of 161.68 and is currently trading around 162.13.
The near-term support is around 161.50, a breach below targets 161/160/159.
