GBPJPY Wave Analysis โ 29 May 2025
- GBPJPY reversed from the key resistance level 196.00
- Likely to fall to support level 193.00
GBPJPY currency pair recently reversed down from the key resistance level 196.00 (which has been reversing the price from March) intersecting with the upper daily Bollinger Band.
The downward reversal from this resistance level 196.00 created the daily Japanese candlesticks reversal pattern Shooting Star.
Given the strength of the resistance level 196.00 and the bearish divergence on the daily Stochastic, GBPJPY currency pair can be expected to fall to the next support level 193.00.
GBPJPY INTRADAY capped at 196.50The GBP/JPY currency pair continues to display a bearish outlook, in line with the prevailing downward trend. Recent price action suggests a corrective pullback, potentially setting up for another move lower if resistance holds.
Key Level: 196.50
This zone, previously a consolidation area, now acts as a significant resistance level.
Bearish Scenario (rejection at 196.50):
A failed test and rejection at 196.50 would likely resume the bearish momentum.
Downside targets include:
194.20 โ Initial support
193.00 โ Intermediate support
191.90 โ Longer-term support level
Bullish Scenario (breakout above 196.50):
A confirmed breakout and daily close above 196.50 would invalidate the bearish setup.
In that case, potential upside resistance levels are:
197.50 โ First resistance
198.30 โ Further upside target
Conclusion
GBP/JPY remains under bearish pressure, with the 196.50 level acting as a key inflection point. As long as price remains below this level, the bias favors further downside toward the 194.20โ191.90 region. However, a sustained break above 196.50 would shift sentiment bullish, targeting 197.50 and beyond. Traders should watch for price confirmation around 196.50 to assess the next move.

GBP/JPY Buy Setup โ Targeting the Next Leg Up from Key Order Block
The GBP/JPY pair is currently presenting a promising long setup on the 1-hour chart. After a strong bullish rally that broke significant highs, the market has pulled back and is consolidating near a previously defined bullish order block in the 193.865โ193.418 region.
This zone aligns with an earlier accumulation area that fueled the breakout above the previous weekly high (PWH), making it a high-probability area for bullish continuation. The structure remains bullish, with higher highs and higher lows intact. Below the order block lies a 4H liquidity-protected low around 192.878, further supporting the idea of a bullish defense at this level.
A buy from the order block area offers a favorable risk-reward opportunity. Potential upside targets include:
195.450 โ minor resistance and potential TP1
196.736โ secondary target (previous swing high)
198.022 โ major target aligned with projected bullish continuation
As long as price respects the protected low and order block, buyers have control, and a move toward higher targets remains likely.
Note: Always manage your risk. A daily close below the order block or a break of the protected low could invalidate this setup.

GBPJPYGBP/JPY 10-Year Bond Yield and Interest Rate Differential
1. UK 10-Year Gilt Yield
As of May 21, 2025, the UK 10-year gilt yield was approximately 4.77%, near its highest level since April 2025, driven by hotter-than-expected inflation data (April CPI at 3.5% YoY, core inflation 3.8%) and reduced expectations of Bank of England rate cuts.
The Bank of Englandโs official interest rate stood at 4.25% in May 2025, down from 4.5%, but markets now price in limited further easing for the rest of the year.
2. Japan 10-Year Government Bond Yield
As of May 21, 2025, the Japan 10-year government bond yield was around 1.52% to 1.55%, remaining near a one-month high amid improving trade data and cautious market sentiment.
The Bank of Japan maintains a very accommodative monetary policy, with policy rates near zero, keeping yields low despite some inflationary pressures.
3. Interest Rate Differential (10-Year Bonds)
The yield spread between UK and Japan 10-year bonds is:
4.77% (UK)โ1.53% (Japan)=+3.24%
This significant positive differential favors the British pound against the Japanese yen from a carry trade perspective.
4. Carry Trade Implications for GBP/JPY
The +3.24% yield advantage makes GBP/JPY attractive for carry trades, where investors borrow in low-yielding JPY and invest in higher-yielding GBP assets to earn the interest spread.
The wide differential supports GBP/JPY strength, assuming stable risk sentiment and no major shocks.
Technical momentum and macroeconomic factors such as UK inflation data, BoJ policy stance, and global risk appetite will influence the pairโs trajectory in the coming week.
Summary Table
Metric United Kingdom (GBP) Japan (JPY)
10-Year Bond Yield ~4.77% ~1.53%
Interest Rate Differential +3.24% (GBP over JPY) โ
Central Bank Policy Rate 4.25% (BoE) ~0% (BoJ)
Conclusion
From May 27 to June 4, 2025, the GBP/JPY pair benefits from a substantial 3.24% interest rate differential between UK and Japanese 10-year bonds, supporting carry trade flows into GBP. The Bank of Englandโs relatively higher rates and inflationary pressures contrast with the Bank of Japanโs ultra-accommodative policy, underpinning GBP strength versus JPY.
GBP/JPY Short Currently GBP/JPY buyers are looking exhausted as it starts to enter a key sell zone on the Daily and Lower time frames. Expecting price to give a discount at 194.000 and bring big buyers back in. First Take profit I anticipate is 194.750, followed by 194.500. If these levels are reached price should react off this key support and resistence area and push for a higher highs on the lower time frames.
