GBPJPY: Thoughts and Analysis Pre-UK GDPToday's focus: GBPJPY
Pattern – Breakout
Support – 188.25? 186.14
Resistance – 189.88
Hi, traders; thanks for tuning in for today's update. Today, we are looking at the GBPJPY on the daily chart.
After what looked like a new breakout, sellers have started to test buyer confidence after news hit JPY traders yesterday. The question remains: will we see buyers hold the breakout and continue to push higher, or will we see sellers break through and possibly retest 186.14 support?
Another factor to keep an eye on is UK GDP; it's due at 6 pm AEDT today.
Good trading.

GBP/CHF - break-out from daily ascending trend channel on 4HThere has been significant volatility in the markets today and GBP/CHF has been no exception. Price has pushed to the downside and on the 4H timeframe has broken out of the daily ascending trend channel that has kept price in check since July. Price did break to the upside from the daily ascending channel last week, however, failed to post a higher high on the daily time frame. Combined with the overall weekly bearish trend, we will be looking to enter a short position from here, once we have confirmation that price will not re-enter the channel structure. We will wait for a retest of the channel or a further push to the downside potentially breaking support at 1.1905. If the channel is retested initial targets will be 1.1905 and a secondary target at 1.1885.
