GBP/JPY Bulls Eye 198.80 as Strong US Jobs Data Lifts Pair—Buy the Dip Strategy in Play

The GBP/JPY  gained sharply after upbeat US NFP data. US dollar gained momentum against the yen as strong jobs data reduced rate cut expectations. It hit a high of  198.08 and is currently trading around 197.37.  Intraday trend is bullish as long as support 196.70  holds.

 

The GBP/JPY pair is trading below  55 and above 200 EMA (Short-term) and 365 EMA (long-term) on the 15-min chart, confirming a mixed trend.  Any violation below 197 indicates the intraday trend is weak. A dip to 196.70/196.25/195.25/194/193.70 is possible.  Immediate resistance is at 197.75, a breach above this level targets of 198.35/198.80/200/202.
