Simplified wave analysis of GBP/USD and USD/JPY on January 21

GBP/USD

Analysis:

Despite the dominant bullish trend on the pound chart, the short-term direction points to the "south" of the chart. In the wave structure since December 23, the price forms a correction in the form of a horizontal triangle. The design is nearing its logical conclusion.

Forecast:

Today, the flat mood of the previous days' movement is expected to continue. In the first half of the day, an upward vector is possible. You can expect a change of direction by the end of the day or tomorrow.

Potential reversal zones

Resistance:

- 1.3060/1.3090

Support:

- 1.2970/1.2940

- 1.2840/1.2810

Recommendations:

Purchases of the pound are now possible in intra-session trading. It is safer to wait for the completion of the upward trend and track the entry signals to short positions.

USD/JPY

Analysis:

The direction of the yen's movement on a short-term scale coincides with the course of the dominant trend since August last year. After a 2-month sideways correction, the pair's price started up on January 8. After breaking through a strong resistance since the beginning of last week, the price rolls back down.

Forecast:

In the coming trading sessions, the entire rollback is expected to be completed, a reversal is expected to be formed, and the pair's rate will begin to rise. The nearest lifting target is shown by the calculated resistance.

Potential reversal zones

Resistance:

- 110.60/110.90

Support:

- 109.80/109.50

Recommendations:

Due to the expected small move of the pair downwards, the pair's sales are unpromising today. It is recommended to track reversal signals to find entry points for long positions.
