The GBP/JPY retreats late on Wednesday during the North American session and is down 0.27% as the market sentiment shifts sour. Speculation that the Federal Reserve wouldn’t cut rates as expected spurred risk aversion, with traders seeking safety moving to the Japanese Yen, the Greenback, and the Swissie. The cross exchanges hands at 191.82.

GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The picture shows the formation of a ‘bearish engulfing’ candle pattern, which suggests that bears are gathering momentum. However, to confirm that the GBP/JPY has peaked at around 192.94 as of today, sellers must push prices below the Tenkan-Sen level at 191.49. Once cleared, the next stop would be the Senkou Span A at 191.12, ahead of falling to the Kijun Sen at 190.74.

On the flip side, the GBP/JPY first resistance would be the 192.00 figure, followed by April’s 10 high at 192.95. The next resistance would be the current year-to-date (YTD) high at 193.53.
