The GBP/JPY is virtually unchanged during the North American session, with the pair consolidating within a tight 186.18/186.77 range on Tuesday. At the time of writing, the pair exchanges hands at 186.31.

The cross-pair trades directionless, awaiting fresh market data, capped on the upside by the Tenkan-Sen at 186.89, ahead of the psychological 187.00 figure. If buyers reclaim last Friday's high of 187.73, that would pave the way to challenge 188.00.

Conversely, if sellers drag the exchange rate below the current week’s low of 186.14, the next demand zone would be the 186.00 mark. If selling pressure extends below that area, the next support would be the Senkou Span A at 185.36, ahead of the February 1 low of 185.22. once those levels are cleared, 185.00 is up next.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?
