GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Pound’s recovery is expected to find resistance at 190.75

  • The Sterling has trimmed some losses amid Yen weakness and upbeat UK manufacturing data
  • Failure to break above 190.75 would keep the bearish structure intact.
  • An AB=CD correction might push the pair to 189.70. 

The Sterling is moderately higher on Tuesday, favored by a somewhat weaker Yen, which suffers when US Treasury yields rise and the upbeat UK manufacturing figures. Bulls, however, are likely to be challenged at the 190.75 area.

GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical Outlook

The pair has completed a bullish cycle at 193.55 and is going through a corrective reversal with scope for further decline. Bears have been contained so far at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the March rally, but a failure to return above 190.75 would keep the negative structure intact.

An AB=CD correction would push the pair through the 190.11 support area toward the 189.60 level. On the contrary. a confirmation above 190.75 and 1.91.50 would negate this view.
