GBPJPY Channel Down making a Lower High rejectionThe GBPJPY pair rose aggressively since the last time we gave our buy signal (April 11, see chart below), quickly hitting our conservative 109.250 Target: The price has since made a Lower High rejection at the top of the Channel Down but remains supported by the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). Once broken and it closes a 1D candle below it, we will have bearish break-out signal. Our Targe will be 185.250, which will be the standard -5.85% decline that all 3 previous Bearish Legs had within the Channel Down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

GBP/JPY SET UPGBP/JPY 1H - Above is a set up I will be looking to take part in as soon as we are delivered with the entry confirmation we need to get involved in this market. We have had two lots of break of structures to confirm longer term bullishness. It is now a case of price trade into the third and finally area of Demand, to give us a nice refined entry for the position. Once we see price trade in and reject well we will look to take part in the market. I have gone ahead and set my SL just below the zone we are getting involved from as this zone should act as protection and there should be enough Demand there to reverse price. I have gone ahead and set my TP just below the last higher timeframe high, this is a great place to put it as this high should break to create a new higher timeframe high following the laws of bullishness. As a result giving us a great RR trade.

GBP/JPY Holds Key Support as Bullish Momentum BuildsA bullish setup has emerged on GBP/JPY, with recent price action suggesting bullish momentum is building. With GBP strengthening against USD, GBP/JPY may present a higher-probability bullish scenario compared to USD/JPY in the near term (though this also looks bullish to my eyes over the near term). GBP/JPY held above key moving averages midweek. GBP/JPY failed to close below its 200-day SMA on both Wednesday and Thursday, while yesterday’s session also respected support at the 50-day EMA and the 192.00 handle. Momentum indicators support the bullish case, with the daily RSI trading above 50 after rebounding from its most oversold level in six weeks. As long as prices hold above Thursday’s low, bulls may look for a retest of the cycle highs near 196.00. ** Please note that Japan's CPI data drops in >30 minutes ** Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index and Forex.com

GBPJPY Technical Analysis! BUY! My dear followers, I analysed this chart on GBPJPY and concluded the following: The market is trading on 193.04 pivot level. Bias - Bullish Technical Indicators: Both Super Trend & Pivot HL indicate a highly probable Bullish continuation. Target - 193.32 About Used Indicators: A super-trend indicator is plotted on either above or below the closing price to signal a buy or sell. The indicator changes color, based on whether or not you should be buying. If the super-trend indicator moves below the closing price, the indicator turns green, and it signals an entry point or points to buy.

GBPJPYGBP/JPY 10-Year Bond Yield Differential and Carry Trade Outlook (May 21, 2025) Current Bond Yields and Interest Rate Differential UK 10-year gilt yield: 4.77% Japan 10-year JGB yield: 1.53% Interest rate differential: 3.24% (GBP yield - JPY yield) Key Factors Influencing Carry Trade Dynamics For GBP (UK): The UK’s 10-year yield rose to 4.77%, its highest since April 2025, driven by hotter-than-expected inflation data (CPI at 3.5% YoY) and reduced expectations for Bank of England (BoE) rate cuts in 2025. Markets now price in only 34 basis points of cuts for the year . The BoE’s cautious stance supports GBP strength, as higher yields attract foreign capital. For JPY (Japan): Japan’s 10-year JGB yield remains low at 1.53%, despite rising to a 17-year high earlier in 2025. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) continues gradual policy normalization but faces economic headwinds (Q1 GDP contraction of 0.2% QoQ) . BoJ’s potential rate hikes and reduced bond purchases could strengthen the yen, adding risk to JPY-funded carry trades . Carry Trade Reaction Opportunity for GBP/JPY Carry Trade The 3.24% yield spread makes GBP/JPY attractive for carry traders, who borrow low-yielding JPY to invest in higher-yielding GBP assets. Historical precedent (e.g., 2021–2024) shows such spreads often lead to sustained GBP/JPY rallies, provided volatility remains low . Risks and Challenges JPY Strength Risks: BoJ’s tightening bias and safe-haven demand (amid U.S.-China trade tensions) could trigger sharp JPY appreciation, eroding carry profits . GBP Volatility: UK inflation uncertainty and fiscal risks could destabilize gilt yields, increasing GBP volatility. Intervention Risks: Japanese authorities have signaled willingness to curb excessive JPY weakness, raising the cost of carry trades . Strategic Response for Carry Traders Hedging: Use options (e.g., JPY call/put risk reversals) to protect against sudden yen strength while retaining exposure to the yield spread . Selective Positioning: Focus on short-term trades to avoid prolonged exposure to BoJ policy shifts or UK economic data surprises. Summary Table Factor GBP Impact JPY Impact Carry Trade Implication Yield Spread 4.77% 1.53% Attractive 3.24% differential BoE Policy Cautious on cuts – Supports GBP strength BoJ Policy – Gradual tightening Risk of JPY appreciation Geopolitical Risks – Safe-haven JPY demand Limits GBP/JPY upside Conclusion Carry traders are likely to favor GBP/JPY due to the wide yield spread, but will mitigate risks through hedging and close monitoring of BoJ interventions, UK inflation trends, and geopolitical developments. The trade’s profitability hinges on stable or widening yield differentials and subdued JPY safe-haven demand. #GBPJPY #FOREX
