150 target has been hit! Congratulations holders! Below is our setup for the pair GBP JPY.
Zone colour Master Key: Blue = Monthly Purple = weekly Orange = Daily Grey = 4hour Pink = 1 hour
Monthly imbalances - Price has rejected the previous all time low of GBP JPY. This zone is a powerful buying zone for positional holders like us for two reasons; 1. - Price is clearly making lower highs 2. - The wicks are closing bullish - suggesting the zone is a fractal buying imbalance
Current situation - the Fibonacci sequence has completed over night in the Asian session - whereby price needed to close and reach the target of the extension using the 4 hour of the -0.786. The smaller time buy zone is now in place for possible longs so long that price creates a liquidity wick in this area. If price falls further, the daily zone comes into play.

See the original idea for the 2021 bullish outlook here: The imbalances are clear, price will hit our 150 analysis and then we will update the outlook accordingly.
GBP pairs currently state of play in returns percentage: Here are the returns thus far from 2021 - 2022. GBP JPY has appreciated the most as expected.
Fundamentals at play With the successful Brexit transition and recovery from the Risk-off scenario from Brexit, the commodity hedge from Gold will not push higher. While the vaccination and cases remain a concern for the UKs long term success in the economy opening up, the GBP has been seen rising and looks set to continue with a target of 149 poised to be filled by the bulls. This has now taken effect, however confirmations of a daily close will highlight further bullish momentum.
The current zone in play approaching 150 is a monthly imbalance which has been previous tested as a supply imbalance. The Bulls may side-line between 147-150 in a range as GBP JPY can erase gains and equally provide gains very quickly in a trading session.
Targets: 150! 152 154
Re-buy zones: 148 147 Lows of 145.
