Elliott Wave Indicates Bearish Sequence for GBPJPYThe Elliott Wave perspective indicates that GBPJPY has entered a bearish sequence from its October 30, 2024 high. It signals further downside potential. From that peak, wave (W) concluded at 187.05, followed by a wave (X) rally that terminated at 195.94, as illustrated in the accompanying 1-hour chart. Currently, wave (Y) is unfolding lower, exhibiting an internal zigzag structure.
Breaking it down from the wave (X) high, wave ((i)) declined to 192.7. The subsequent wave ((ii)) rally peaked at 195.77. The pair then resumed its descent in wave ((iii)), reaching 187.51, before a wave ((iv)) bounce concluded at 190.29. The final leg, wave ((v)), completed at 186.05, marking the end of wave A in a higher degree. From there, wave B unfolded as a zigzag corrective pattern: wave ((a)) rose to 188.83, and wave ((b)) pulled back to 187.09. Wave ((c)) advanced to 190.08, completing wave B. The pair has since resumed its decline in wave C.
In the near term, as long as the pivotal high at 195.94 remains intact, any rallies are expected to falter in a 3, 7, or 11 swing structure, reinforcing the outlook for further downside. Traders monitoring this setup should anticipate limited upside and watch for confirmation of this bearish continuation.
GBP/JPY Daily AnalysisPrice is testing support for the 3rd time (last tested and rejected in late 2024 and February 2025)
This MAY now lead to opportunities to buy if we see a bullish setup or bullish impulse and correction.
A break and close below support would invalidate this idea.
This is just an idea of what could happen. You should always trade with a well tested and profitable trading strategy using good risk management.

GBPJPY - BuyJust entered a long on GBPJPY after a clean sweep of the Asian session low. Price dipped into a key area of interest, rejecting from the 61.8% retracement, signaling a potential reversal. With liquidity grabbed and bullish momentum kicking in, I’m looking for a push back toward the highs.
Let’s see if this plays out! Managing risk and riding the move.

GBP/JPY: Yen Strength Pushes Price Toward Key SupportGBP/JPY has posted a decline of more than 3% over the last four trading sessions, with bearish momentum growing as the market increasingly favors the Japanese yen in the short term. Demand for the yen has risen sharply since last week, when Donald Trump announced a minimum 10% tariff on all imports into the United States. This was further reinforced today by new comments proposing additional 50% tariffs on China, following Beijing’s announcement of countermeasures against the U.S.
The yen is historically considered one of the safest currencies, and the recent surge in uncertainty has helped it hold strong against the British pound.
Wide Sideways Range
The pair remains within a broad long-term range, bounded by a ceiling near 198.676 and a floor around 186.932. Although recent selling has brought the pair close to the lower boundary, price action has not yet been strong enough to break this level, keeping the sideways channel as the dominant technical formation to watch for now.
MACD
The MACD indicator has started to show a shift in market momentum, with the histogram oscillating below the zero line. This reflects ongoing bearish pressure based on recent moving average behavior, and as long as this pattern persists, selling momentum in GBP/JPY may become increasingly relevant in the coming sessions.
RSI
The RSI also reflects a bearish tone, with the line currently holding below the 50 level. However, the indicator is gradually approaching the oversold zone near the 30 level, which is typically where selling pressure may begin to ease, potentially opening the door for short-term bullish corrections.
Key Levels:
192.493 – Key resistance: Located in the middle of the broader range and roughly aligned with the 200-period moving average. Persistent price action near this level may signal the beginning of a bullish bias in the short term.
190.144 – Tentative zone: This level may act as a potential area for short-term bullish corrections.
186.932 – Current support: Positioned at the bottom of the broader range. If price action breaks below this level, it could pave the way for a much more significant downtrend in the sessions ahead.
By Julian Pineda, CFA – Market Analyst
GBPJPY Long4H main structure is bearish, the 1H internal structure is bullish which could be the beginning of the 4H pullback.
3 possible entries depending on how aggressive the sellers will be on the 15M pullback or if price breaks above the current range and holds the forming a new support, that could be a possible entry.
