GBP/USD
The Cable climbed to $1.3856 on U.S dollar weakness, but gains were capped due to fears of Delta covid variant spread.

The Japanese yen soared to 109.44 versus the greenback amid firmer Japan GDP data and downbeat Treasury yields.

The Aussie dollar modestly gained to $0.7343 with the Reserve Bank of Australia due to release the minutes from its latest meeting tomorrow morning.

The Canadian dollar lost ground to 1.2535 against the U.S dollar as crude oil sideways price action failing to provide a directional clue to the commodity-related loonie.

Technical Analysis - Forex Charts
EURGBP riding wave C
Chart updated on 21.06.2021

EURGBP appears to be riding into a corrective wave  A-B-C after completing 5 waves to the downside. Yesterday, we observed an impulsive break out  of wave B  channel  which could lead EURGBP towards final wave C as per Elliott wave analysis. we remain bullish on EURGBP with stop loss below 0.8500 targeting 0.8757 , 0.8826 and ultimately 0.8915.

 

 

127% appears to be good level for short term rebound to the upside for GBPJPY
Chart posted on 21.07.2021

After rallying towards a high of 156.07 end of May 2021, we saw a three wave corrective move to the downside in GBPJPY which possibly could  be the end of a corrective wave A-B-C  before a new high is formed  or possibly  part of a larger corrective combination wave W-X-Y as per Elliott wave perspective.

 

127% appears to be good level for short term rebound to the upside.

 

Approaching 149.00/149.10 could be an opportunity to long the market with stop below 148.30 with  targets  levels 150 , 150.71 and 151.70.
