Following a strengthening in CNH against the USD by the PBOC (The People’s Bank of China), it sent the Equities Indices of the rival exporting nations in the Dax and Nikkei to interim highs. At the moment, we are seeing risk-on behavior in risky assets except for Oil, as Trump promises to sell some of the US Oil Reserves, raising downside risk to this market.

As we could read in my previous GBP/JPY analysis, the pair perfectly rejected and continued to be sold on rallies. At this point the GBP/JPY is locked below the bearish order block that stands in the POC zone 143.75-95 (Order block, D H3, trend line, 61.8, historical sellers). The NFP today along with unemployment and average hourly earning data should move this pair as it is connected to equities markets. If we see a rejection from POC, the target is 143.10. Break below 143.10 aims for 142.40 zone. A spike above 144.10 could get the pair to 144.61 D H5/ ATR top confluence. NFP is usually very volatile so using a VPS tool could be a good option if you trade NFP.
