Today's Scenario: - The GBP/JPY pair is slightly pulled back as the market may have been overextended. However, there are still many buyers interested in getting long, and the 166 level could now offer support as it was previous resistance. The Bank of Japan's yield curve control policy is likely to continue to limit the Japanese yen, so shorting the pair is not recommended at this time.

Buy Scenario: - The market will continue to be volatile, and traders will be looking to pick up value. The market's behavior will depend on whether there is an increase in risk appetite, and there will be a lot of noise regardless. However, buying the dip is likely to continue, and the pair could break above the 169 level eventually. Till we do not advise to buy GBP/JPY.

Sell Scenario: - Sellers will have to prove themselves, and currently, they don't seem to have much strength. Breaking the 50-Day EMA to the downside, which is unlikely to happen soon, could have negative consequences and change the market's entire outlook. Till we do not advise to sell GBP/JPY.

Support and Resistance Level: -
