GBPJPY Compression = Future Explosion (Downside Ahead?)
-

1. Market Context
For the past 6 weeks, GBPJPY has been trapped in a narrow 200-pip range between 200.50 and 198.50. This is unusual for such a volatile pair, and historically, when GBPJPY compresses like this, the eventual breakout tends to be explosive.
2. Distribution or Accumulation?
In my view, this is not healthy consolidation but rather distribution. The market looks heavy, and every test of support adds pressure on the downside.
3. Technical Perspective
• The pair is pressing against support.
• A clean break below here opens the door for an immediate 300-pip drop.
• For a larger swing move, the downside target extends much deeper – towards the 188.00 zone, which is the next major support level.
4. Trading Bias
As long as 200.00 holds as resistance, my bias remains bearish.
The longer the range persists, the bigger the breakout that will follow — and in this case, I believe it will be to the downside.
5. Conclusion
GBPJPY has been unusually quiet, but pressure is building. Once support breaks, the move could be fast and violent, in classic GBPJPY style. -
Great breakdown
GBP/JPY compression like this often leads to explosive moves
With 200.00 acting as a strong resistance, the bearish bias makes sense — a clean break could easily trigger that sharp 300-pip+ drop toward 188

Solid analysis
GBP/JPY stuck in this tight 200-pip box definitely feels like pressure cooking — once 200 gives way, that 300+ pip slide toward 188 looks like a real possibility 

@Couturier Thanks
