GBP/JPY - Cable bulls once again had their luck turn against them as the cross tumbled toward the psychologically important 200.00 figure. As the price action remains in favor of the Japanese yen longs the next move will most likely see the cross break below the channel's lower boundary and sterling longs fall back toward 198.57, a level marked by the 200-day SMA. A break below will most likely see the pound longs scatter as Japanese yen bulls stampede their way to 196.80, a cable defensive position marked by the August 22 daily spike low. A further collapse of the sterling defenses will most likely see the GBP/JPY test the bids around 195.70, a 23.6 Fib of the 205.37-192.70 JPY rally, a level that currently acts as a gateway to the psychologically important 195.00 handle. Indicators are diverging with momentum indicator below the zero line while MACD is sloping downward toward the zero line, with neutral oscillators giving Japanese yen longs enough room to maneuver.
