A continuation to pip deviations, here's GBP/JPY most vital break points for today.
In GBP terms, exact break points are 147.24, 147.81, 147.96, 148.45 and 148.84
In USD terms, Exact break points are 147.42, 147.73, 148.04, 148.78, 149.15
In JPY terms, 147.71, 148.14, 148.80, 149.13 and 149.47.
So closely aligned are interest rates from GBP, USD and JPY yet far enough distant. Note 5 break points. The 5 break points are the British Tradition and instituted for the most part by all nations exchange rates pegged or closely associated to GBP dating back 100's of years. Nothing changed over the years.
GBP/JPY viewed in JPY terms was actually JPY/GBP in USD terms. The close association to GBP/JPY in USD, JPY and GBP terms is the leftover result from JPY/GBP's peg to GBP money markets and Gold in the 1930's. Interest rates may have changed over the years but exchange rates remain the same. While nation's play around with interest rates, the unknown answer is at what level is an exchange rate perfectly viable to sustain an economy. We're sloshing 5 trillion around daily and exchange rates remain dead yet growth hasn't been seen in 9 years.
Why GBP/JPY makes it to the USD stage is because the difference between GBP and USD is so slight. Hardly a difference exists. GBP/USD is trying so hard to become USD as its pegged is so closely tied together.
EUR/USD, Overall Break points 1.1797 and 1.1652. Higher or lower today must break 1.1756 to target 1.1713 and 1.1818.
