GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Rebounds from weekly lows, eyes 186.30s

GBP/JPY halts its bearish momentum, but downside risks remain if it fails to conquer the Tenkan-Sen.
A ‘tweezers-bottom’ candlestick chart pattern is forming; further upside expected?
Buyers failure to conquer 186.00, could exacerbate a drop toward the 184.50 area.

GBP/JPY snaps four days of losses, climbs 0.31% in the late Tuesday North American session, and exchanges hands at around 186.00 after bouncing from daily/weekly lows reached at 184.45.

The GBP/JPY daily chart portrays the pair as neutral biased, as the slope of the Tenkan and Kijun-Sen shifted flat, which could open the door for range-bound trading. On the upside, the pair’s first resistance would be the Tenkan-Sen at 186.37, followed by the 187.00 figure, ahead of the year-to-date (YTD) high at 188.24.

On the other hand, if GBP/JPY drops below the Kijun-Sen at 184.52, that would pave the way to test the Senkou Span B at 183.15, followed by the bottom of the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo) at 181.75.

Gold rebounds from one-week low; upside seems limited amid hawkish Fed, bullish USD

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
