British Pound / Japanese Yen

GBPJPY

180
Excuse the messy drawings - but what we have on the GBPJPY here is a weekly time frame and a 3rd touch of the Gann line going down. It has touched and rejected. Heiken candles have then come all the way back to the trend line and below the T3.

With the extension we have seen, some exhaustion might be starting to set in.

In terms of COT Data - we have a 32.6k Long position with GBP which saw negative 9k this week. As for shorts, we have a 53.1k with an additional 2k being added.

As for Yen - 41.9k Long and 2.9k added - however, the only kicker from a COT perspective is that we also saw an additional 6k short positions added to make it now 31.7k short.

Be great to get thoughts and comments on this pair.

Note
Using the Heiken - 15min chart candle is under the trend, 30min, the candle just turned red & indicator called short.

1hr chart, the candle is red and consolidating.

4hr chart - the bars are extended but the OBV/RSI is at it's peak in terms of overbought. Couple this above with negative GBP COT data, the UK spending 1% of their GDP on paid lockdown, Brexit in the background and last week the UK had more COVID deaths than the rest of Europe combined.

Looking more likely for a short, even if it's only a pullback from the Gann levels on the chart.
