"Market Moves: GBP/JPY Faces Resistance Amid Pound Weakness"

GBP/JPY formed a minor top around  199.67 and declined sharply due to weak pound sterling. It hit a low of 195.37 and is currently trading around 197.56. The Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) is identified at 200.20, and the pair has gained over 800 pips the previous month.

Last week, the Pound Sterling (GBP) fell significantly against the U.S. dollar, marking its fourth straight week of losses. This decline was mainly due to the Bank of England cutting interest rates for the first time in four years, with analysts predicting one or two more cuts by the end of 2024. Additionally, economic data showing a drop in private sector activity in October raised worries about the UK economy. As a result, investor confidence has weakened.

Technical Overview:

  • The GBP/JPY is above short-term and long-term moving averages, indicating a bullish trend.
     
  • Immediate resistance is at 198; if broken, it could rise toward 198.75/199.75/200.20.
     
  • Support is at 196.85, with potential drops to 196, or 195.40 if this level fails.

Indicator Analysis:

  1. CCI - bearish and ADX - neutral. Both show mixed trends.

Trading Recommendation: Consider selling if the price approaches 198.75-80, with a stop loss around 200.20 and aiming for a profit target of 196.
