GJ Different ScenariosAs you can see in the 4H chart, GBPJPY was in a sharp downtrend and after dropping significantly, price started to rise and broke the blue key resistance zone and fixed above it.
We are still not sure if price has started a new uptrend or it is just in a correction phase and willing to drop again.
The Blue area which is between 153.550 - 153.750 is an important zone for us:
If price can’t break this zone to the downside and gets rejected from it, we should wait for the red resistance level at 154.200 to be broken out and price closes a bullish confirmation candle above this level, to expect a growth first to the next major high at 154.700, and in the case of an upside breakout on this level, the next long-term target would be around 155.550
On the other hand, since price was in a sharp downtrend and if we assume this uptrend as a correction, price has retraced 61.8% of the previous downside move and is ready to drop again:
If the blue area broken out to the downside and price closed a bearish confirmation candle below this zone, we can expect a fall first to 153.280, and in the case of a downside breakout on this level, the next target would be the last major low at 152.400

3 Trades Ideas for GBPJPY
1. Bullish bias - If price rejects the previous resistance level @ 152.30 and past 153.30 (previous highs) then we would see a break of the downtrend structure and expect price to continue up
2. Bullish bias - If price continues down to the bottom of the ascending trend line and rejects then again we would see a break of structure (BOS) above 153.80 towards 155.30 (50% fib) or 156 (618% fib)
3. Bearish bias - If price breaks below 152.40 - 152.30 then we could see a continued downtrend especially if we see closures below. Then targets would be next support @ 151.35 then 149.95

GBPJPY CONSOLIDATIONGBPJPY currently in a consolidation (sideways channel), best advice is to sit this one out and let it play out. Direction of breakout can’t be predicted and is based more on fundamentals than TA. Japan has 2 news event coming up later today so let’s watch but their last few news event didn’t affect the market much either so don’t go crazy with position based off the news. Good luck!
SHORT trade for GJShort trade for GJ. Finally broke past support and made a move to the downside. I expect to see a little bit of price action between the minor resistance levels on the way to my profit target. I don't expect to see much overall resistance for the move to continue seeing as there are no major news announcements for either country at the moment. Price could very well head all the way down to the previous support level below my profit target. Here are my numbers for the trade. I am currently in this trade and will update with news on the trade.
Entry - 155.552
Stop Loss - 156.052
Profit Target - 154.560
Risk - 1%
R/R - 2
As always,
Stay safe and stick with your plan.
Still bearish on GBPJPYGBPJPY / 2H
GBPJPY is till following the bearish momentum as predicted the last week after
observing a classical Wycoff distribution. We will continue watching over this pair for
more potential sells around the zones 155.00 and 155.5 after price action confirmation.
Trade safe,
