  • GBP/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 183.47 181.84 179.19
  • Resistance: 186.60 188.23 190.88

The British Pound continues to tread water against the Japanese Yen having found resistance below the 187.00 figure. Near-term resistance is in the 186.11-60 area marked by the November 20 high and the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 23.6% level at 188.23. Alternatively a reversal below the 183.47-184.31 zone (November 6 high 14.6% Fib retracement) clears the way for a challenge of the 23.6% retracement at 181.84.

While negative RSI divergence points to ebbing upside momentum and warns a turn lower may be ahead the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests entering short is premature. We will remain on the sidelines for now waiting for a more actionable opportunity to present itself.
