FxWirePro- Sell GBPJPY on rallies

The GBP/JPY currency pair trades weak as the Pound sterling declines.  It hit a low of 192.53 at the time of writing and is currently trading around 193. The Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) is set at 200.20.

This week, the Pound Sterling weakened significantly against all major currencies due to disappointing economic data and a stronger U.S. dollar. The UK's unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, and retail sales fell by 0.7%, showing low consumer confidence. The Pound dropped below $1.26, its lowest level since May, and struggled against other currencies. Overall, investors are favoring the stronger U.S. dollar amid ongoing market uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.
