GBP JPY shorting

Short
FX:GBPJPY   British Pound / Japanese Yen
Hello analyst and traders,

we have our update for GBP JPY - price finally rejected the daily 50%, we entered a little late but with GBP JPY - you need resilience as Gold does it's own moves with investor sentiment as a safehaven likewise with the Yen.

Looking at the technicals;
- using Fibonacci retracement from the top of the structure to the bottom, we have a clear liquidity zone between 50-61.8% retracements.
- Fibonacci has shown a nice fakeout in previous days in which was a great place to react.

With reference to previous postings, these are still very much in play.
Technicals:
What can we see technically?
- Daily bearish but breaking momentum short in the channel.
- weekly bearish zone touched
- bounce from the demand zone
- we can see the trend beginning to add long positions to correct - this has now occurred. so now we reject the 136 level.
- now in a consolidation zone with some great wicks formed and a reversal to the upside - this has been boosted by GBP Tuesday as of writing.
- With Gold going up we can see some nice downside for GJ
-Large downside gap to fall to if price looks to create a new low structure in bearish confluence and momentum trading.
- COT report in favour of Yen.

Fundamentals
Aussie is a commodity currency so is highly affected with exports of natural resources, Gold , Oil , Grains, Copper etc.
UK lock down has caused issues for the restart of the border, Brexit news is also a kicker for bearish news.
USD cases, will still cause strength of safe haven currencies.
