GBPJPY trade ideas
THOUGHTS ON GBP/JPY GBP/JPY 4H - Here is a prime set up for this pair, as you can see we have recently had a higher timeframe break in structure to the upside, suggesting longer term bullishness.
I now want to see price pullback into a valid area of interest allowing us to get involved in this market with a more refined entry. Once we see price pullback down into our area of interest this is when we can prepare to go long.
We want to see price trade down, clear the area of Demand and then break structure to the upside fractally, this will confirm that enough Demand has been introduced to flip the balance.
By breaking the last protected high, it confirms that there is more Demand in the market than there is Supply, as we will begin following the laws of Bullish structure. Breaking highs and protecting lows.

GBP/JPY Daily AnalysisPrice has broken out of structure and is currently retesting previous resistance (the top of the structure).
Look for bullish changes in cycle on the smaller time frame if interested in longs.
A daily close back within structure would most indicate a false break.
Always trade with a profitable strategy and good risk management.
GBP/JPY Pulls Back Ahead of January High GBP/JPY pulls back ahead of the January high (198.26) to halt a five-day rally, with the recent weakness in the exchange rate keeping the Relative Strength Index (RSI) below 70.
Lack of momentum to push above the 195.70 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) to 196.60 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) region may push GBP/JPY towards the weekly low (193.39), with a break/close below the 192.40 (50% Fibonacci extension) to 193.50 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) zone bringing the monthly low (190.33) on the radar.
At the same time, a break/close above the 195.70 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) to 196.60 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) region may lead to a test of the January high (198.26), with the next area of interest coming in around the December high (198.96).

GBPJPY Just Hit the Sweet Spot — High RRR or Fakeout Trap?💷 GBPJPY 30-Min Chart Breakdown — May 14, 2025
This setup is a banger for traders following structure, zones, and risk-reward logic. Let’s dissect the trade logic:
🔍 1. Market Structure
Price has been moving within a well-respected ascending channel (see black trendlines).
We just printed a short-term bearish pullback, with price dipping into a refined demand zone (highlighted pink/red).
The most recent bearish impulse looked like a liquidity sweep, not a structure break.
🧱 2. Smart Money Zone
Demand zone aligns with:
✅ Previous OB (order block)
✅ Mid-channel support
✅ Equal lows & trendline liquidity just below
Dark gray box = the exact entry block
Bulls stepped in right on time — classic mitigation + reaction setup
🎯 3. Risk-Reward
Entry: Around 195.380
SL: 195.110 (tight below the block)
TP: 196.575
RRR ≈ 1:5 — beautiful sniper entry with minimal exposure and max gain
🧠 4. What to Watch Next
Break above 195.900 = confirmation of bullish continuation
If price stalls again below midline, re-entry could come after another liquidity push
Clean break of 195.100 = invalidation (watch for potential short setups below)
🔁 Trade Management Tips:
Trail stops aggressively above 195.900
Scale out partials every 50 pips if you're trading it like a swing
Add confluence from DXY/Yen strength for better context
This one checks all the boxes: structure, zone, confirmation, and a clean RRR.
🚀 Tag a trader who loves tight stop, high-RR plays.

GBPJPY breaking the F.V.G?GBPJPY after breakout of the monthly long term trend line has got rejected for potential retest of the support. As the market has left a gap untested at 193.50 level, there is a high probability for the price to drop and retest and fill that gap. Currently price is approaching a fair value gap.
As first trade closed in profit, looking for another sell entry at 1h candle close!

Lingrid | GBPJPY potential Short-Term RetracementFX:GBPJPY broke above the March high but immediately reversed, forming a fake breakout paired with bearish divergence. This signals potential exhaustion as the pair sits near the upper boundary of the resistance zone. A pullback toward 194.200 or deeper into the 192 area appears increasingly likely.
📌 Key Levels
Support level: 192.338
Invalidation level: Above 196.500
Target area: 194.200 and possibly 192.338
⚠️ Risks
Continued bullish pressure could invalidate the bearish reversal setup
A sustained hold above 196 would point to trend continuation toward 198+

EDUCATION: Why I’m Still in the GBPJPY TradeWhy I’m Still in the GBPJPY Trade—Even After Hitting the Target
Most traders hit a target and run. And honestly? That’s fine.
But this time, we’re doing something different.
Our GBPJPY trade—entered at 188.813 with a target at 195.170—just did what many doubted: it hit the target. That’s over 630 pips of calculated risk, patience, and pure follow-through. But instead of closing the position and patting ourselves on the back, we’re letting it run.
Here’s why:
1. Momentum Isn’t Slowing Down
Price action is bullish. Higher highs, clean structure, and no major signs of reversal yet. When the market is walking in your favor, don’t interrupt it just to feel “right.”
2. Smart Traders Let Their Winners Run
It’s not just a quote—it’s a survival skill in trading. Letting profits develop is how you avoid the trap of small wins and big losses. This trade is still showing strength, and we’re adapting with it.
3. The Higher Timeframe Story Still Has Room
On the daily and weekly charts, GBPJPY could still reach into extended zones. With fundamentals aligning and technicals confirming, why leave early?
A Quick Recap:
Entry: 188.813
Original Target: 195.170 ✅
Current Action: Letting it ride 🚀
Lessons from This Trade:
A plan should include the possibility of more than just your first target.
Exit strategy matters just as much as entry.
Emotional discipline separates reactive traders from real ones.
Would you stay in the trade or take the money and bounce? Let me know—because this is the part where traders split into two camps: the ones who close too early... and the ones who play the full game.

GBPJPY Trade Update: New Month, New Momentum?As we flip the calendar into a new month, our GBPJPY swing trade has shown solid progress—reaching 193.030, just over halfway to our final target at 195.170. Originally entered at 188.813, this move has delivered over 400 pips so far, validating the analysis behind the setup.
In this phase of the trade, it’s less about jumping to adjust and more about staying focused on trade management and letting the market reveal its next intention. Price is approaching a key zone of interest where momentum often stalls or accelerates, and we’re watching closely for signs of strength—or hesitation.
Key insights from this phase of the trade:
The power of planning your exit with as much precision as your entry.
How end-of-month and new-month flows can trigger volatility.
When to lock in partial profits and when to stay patient.
With strong bullish structure still intact, the GBPJPY pair is giving us every reason to stay in the trade, eyes on the 195.170 target.
Would you hold or secure the bag here? Let me know how you’d play it from this point forward.

GBP/JPY Breaks Above 196.00! Continuation or Distribution?Detailed Techno-Macro Analysis – GBP/JPY
GBP/JPY has just completed a significant weekly structure breakout, pushing through a key supply zone between 195.00 and 196.30 — an area that historically acted as strong resistance. The breakout occurred via a high-volatility daily candle that closed above the zone, indicating strong bullish pressure.
🔍 Structure & Price Action
Price action shows higher lows and higher highs: a clearly defined bullish structure.
The breakout originated from an accumulation base, following a false bearish breakout below 188.50 (bull trap).
RSI is around 70 on the daily timeframe → strong momentum, but signs of potential exhaustion.
🧠 Key Zones Identified
Current weekly supply: 195.00 – 196.80 (being tested)
Next resistance: 198.70 – 199.50 (swing high and monthly level)
Immediate support: 194.00 – 192.80 (ideal area for pullback and long setups)
Structural support: 190.50 – 188.80
Invalidation: Daily close below 191.00 → potential reversal signal
📈 Macro & Fundamental Context
🇬🇧 UK Macro Update
Wages rising: +5.5% (above expectations) → could support further monetary tightening
Claimant count increasing → early weakness in the labor market
Mixed data, but wage growth bias favors GBP strength
🇯🇵 JPY Still Weak
BoJ remains ultra-accommodative
Verbal interventions from Japanese officials haven’t yet had structural impact
🪙 Retail Sentiment
70% of retail traders are short GBP/JPY, with an average price of 190.59
Only 30% are long, with an average price of 194.65
➡️ Current price (196.30) is above both → retail squeeze in play. Contrarian setup confirmed.
🧾 COT Report
GBP (Non-Commercial Speculators):
Long: +3,320 contracts
Short: -1,956 contracts
➡️ Net long positions increasing → favorable institutional exposure
JPY:
Mixed positions, with increases in both long and short → institutional neutrality on the yen
📅 Seasonality – GBP/JPY
May is historically bearish on both 5Y and 20Y timeframes:
5Y: -2.52%
20Y: -0.43%
Only the 2Y pattern shows a positive return
➡️ Negative seasonality vs. bullish technical structure → conflict worth watching
🔍 Execution Summary
The bullish breakout is strong and supported by sentiment and institutional positioning, but price is now entering a potential distribution zone, where profit-taking could increase.
👉 Main scenario: technical pullback toward 194.00–192.80 for possible long entries, targeting 198.50–199.50
👉 Alternative scenario: daily close below 191.00 → bias reversal and bearish continuation
