GBP/JPY Undecided

GBP/JPY has been trading in a narrow range for the last few weeks with price gravitating between 140 and 138. The pair got a a boost by strong US data released today, which drove investors to short-sell the Japanese currency and move over to the strong dollar.

Today, GBP/JPY reached a low of 138.40 and was supported by the fundamentals thus reaching an intraday high of 139.61. However, the move to the upside was short-lived as price has now retreated to lower levels around 139.30.

Main trend remains neutral and market participants would need to go above 140.50 or below 138.50 in order for a trend to begin a formation.
