Forex: GBP/JPY at 2-week high of 133.35

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The British pound has been supported across the board following a slew of UK macroeconomic data which is viewed more positively than anything else. The GBP/JPY thus has surged more than 100 pips over the European session, recently running into modest resistance at a fresh 2-week high of 133.35.

The ForexMansion.com analysis team suggests: “The GBP/JPY rose Tuesday, but is simply caught in a tight consolidation range between 130 and 133. Of course, there are central banks below the 130 area, so we only want to buy. In fact, this is a great scalping market, as the range is 300 pips – yet still tight. The consolidation will continue until the markets in general decide how risk adverse or risk positive they want to be. Look for short-term set ups to the upside in the 130 to 133 range.”
