GBP/JPY: Finally, the Rate Cut Has Arrived!GBP/JPY is facing significant bearish pressure, with the price dropping to around 188.40 in the recent sessions on February 6, 2025. The main catalyst behind this trend has been the Bank of England’s interest rate cut of 25 basis points, bringing it down to 4.5%. This decision has intensified the weakness of the British pound, prompting investors to liquidate long positions and fueling the strong decline in the pair. The market is now pricing in the possibility of further rate cuts in the coming months, which keeps sentiment firmly bearish. From a technical perspective, the breakdown below the key level of 190.50 has confirmed the loss of bullish momentum. Even the recovery attempts seen in previous days, such as the rebound to 193.00 on February 4, have proven weak and incapable of reversing the primary trend. The current phase of weakness could lead the pair to test further lower support levels, with 187.50 and then 185.80 as possible bearish targets unless there is a positive reaction from the pound. On the macroeconomic front, the divergence between the BoE and the Bank of Japan could theoretically provide some medium-term support for the pound, given that the BoJ continues to maintain an ultra-loose monetary policy. However, the market currently seems more focused on the deteriorating economic outlook for the UK and the increasing likelihood that the BoE will continue cutting rates, enhancing the yen’s appeal as a defensive asset. If risk-off sentiment intensifies, we could see an acceleration of the bearish trend in GBP/JPY, especially if the global market enters a more pronounced risk-averse phase.

USDJPYThe Japanese yen fell below 155 per dollar on Tuesday as the suspension of U.S. tariffs on Mexico and Canada reduced safe-haven demand. On Monday, Trump agreed to pause the tariffs for a month after talks with both nations. Optimism is also rising over a possible U.S.-China deal to prevent the 10% tariffs set for today. In Japan, investors await Wednesday’s wage data, which could impact the BOJ’s policy outlook. The central bank raised rates in January and signaled readiness for further hikes if economic conditions support it. The key resistance level appears to be 155.90, with a break above it potentially targeting 158.70 and 160.00. On the downside, 153.80 is the first major support, followed by 151.90 and 149.20 if the price moves lower.

GBPUSD at Key Resistance: Will Sellers Push Toward 1.24280?OANDA:GBPUSD has reached a significant resistance zone, marked by prior price rejections and strong selling pressure. This level has historically acted as a key supply area, increasing the likelihood of a bearish bounce if sellers regain control. With the price now testing this resistance, I anticipate a potential downward move toward the 1.24280 level, aligning with the broader bearish market structure. This setup suggests the possibility of a retracement after the recent upward movement. Traders should watch for confirmation signals, such as bearish engulfing candles or rejection wicks, to validate the potential for a reversal.

EURAUD Approaching Key Support: Potential Buy SetupOANDA:EURAUD is approaching a significant demand zone, marked by prior price reactions and strong buying interest. This zone has historically acted as a reliable support area, suggesting the potential for a bullish rebound if buyers regain control. The current market structure indicates that if the price confirms a rejection from this demand zone, we could see a move upward toward the 1.66105 level. Traders should look for bullish confirmation signals, such as bullish engulfing candles or higher lows, to validate potential long entries.

EURAUD at Key Support Level - Will Price Rebound to 1.66110?OANDA:EURAUD reached a key support level, an area where buyers have previously shown strong interest. The recent bearish movement suggests that price is testing this level, potentially setting up for a rebound. A bullish confirmation, such as a strong rejection pattern, bullish engulfing candles, or long lower wicks, would strengthen the case for a move higher. If buyers step in, the price could rally toward the 1.66110 target. However, a decisive breakdown below this support would invalidate the bullish scenario and could lead to further downside. This is not financial advice but rather how I approach support/resistance zones. Remember, always wait for confirmation, like a rejection candle or volume spike before jumping in.

EURNZD - Sell Setup at Clear Resistance ZoneEURNZD is currently trading in a clear resistance zone that has consistently acted as a barrier for bullish momentum. This area aligns with prior supply levels and could attract some seller interest. If rejection patterns, such as bearish engulfing candles or long upper wicks, emerge, I anticipate a move toward 1.82800. However, a break above this zone could signal a potential shift in market sentiment. This is not financial advice but rather how I approach support/resistance zones.
