GBP/JPY closed Wednesday at 214.277, down just 7 pips from Monday's 214.284 open. The pair peaked at 214.678 Tuesday and touched 214.038 Monday before settling into a tight 50-pip range between 214.15 and 214.35.
Without major data releases from either the UK or Japan this week, GBP/JPY has drifted sideways. Monday saw the week's low at 214.038 before buyers stepped in. Tuesday's push to 214.678 faded quickly, leaving the cross trapped in the middle of its recent range.
Thursday and Friday remain wide open for volatility. If UK data surprises or the Bank of Japan makes any hawkish noises, this tight range will break. A push above Tuesday's 214.678 high opens the door to 215.00. A break below Monday's 214.038 low puts 213.50 back in focus.
Traders are nearly split with 54.5% long and 45.5% short as of Wednesday morning. This balanced positioning reflects the indecision you see in price action. Neither bulls nor bears have conviction midweek.
The 214.30 area is the pivot right now. Price has crossed it six times in three days. If GBP/JPY holds above 214.30 through Thursday's session, buyers may test Tuesday's 214.678 high again. If it breaks below and stays there, Monday's 214.038 low becomes the target. Trade the range until it breaks. Open your account with LHFX to catch the next move.
