GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Hovers nearby weekly highs as bulls loose steam

Despite a brief touch at 183.01, the GBP/JPY remains anchored below the 183.00 psychological resistance.
Key resistance lies at last week’s high of 183.24, and surpassing this could put YTD high of 184.01 into focus.
Support levels to watch include the August 9 low at 182.36, Tenkan-Sen at 181.82, and an established support trendline from April's lows around 180.80/95.

GBP/JPY consolidates around the weekly highs of 182.70s and prints a small candlestick, suggesting the uptrend is losing steam, despite reaching a fresh weekly high of 183.01. However, as the Asian session began, the GBP/JPY exchanged hands at 182.69, well below 183.00, after the Tenkan-Sen crossed above the Kijun-Sen level.

GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a technical perspective, the GBP/JPY remains neutral to upward bias but must reclaim the last week’s high of 183.24 to threaten the year-to-date (YTD) high of 184.01. Even though the bullish cross of the Tenkan-Sen above the Kijun-Sen portrays the GBP/JPY as bullish, further confirmation is expected.

Otherwise, if GBP/JPY dives below the August 9 low of 182.36, it would exacerbate a pullback towards the top of the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo). The GBP/JPY’s first support would be the Tenkan-Sen at 181.82, followed by a support trendline drawn from the lows of April, at 180.80/95, before slumping towards the Kijun-Sen at 180.15, inside the Kumo.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December. The pair has pulled back sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870, shedding over 500 pips in a series of lower highs and lower lows.

Gold moves closer to $5,150 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold climbs back above $5,100 during the Asian session on Wednesday, moving away from an over one-week low, touched the previous day. Sustained safe-haven flow, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, acts as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI later today.
