GBP/JPY – 30M – BUY

The GBP/JPY 30-minute chart has fired a cluster of bullish signals, including Trendline Break Down, Trendline Retreat Up, Double Top, Double Top Retreat Up, Triple Top, Triple Top Retreat Up, and BOP and MOM Zero Cross Ups. These signals suggest that after a period of bearish pressure, the pair is attempting to reverse higher, with the retreats from key patterns indicating that sellers are losing momentum. The confluence of trendline breaks and pattern retreats points to a potential shift in intraday sentiment.

However, the broader trend context is predominantly bearish across most timeframes, with the 30-minute and 1-hour charts showing solid or forming trends to the downside. The 2-hour and 4-hour charts are choppy and sideways, while the 8-hour is bullish but weak. This mixed alignment means the bullish signals on the 30-minute are counter-trend, and the weak strength (63%) suggests limited upside potential. Key levels to watch are resistance at 216.171 and support at 215.402; a break above resistance would strengthen the bullish case, while a move below support would invalidate it.
