GBP/JPY dropped below the major support level of 181.240 on Wednesday and closed below this level. Price also broke the bullish trend line last week after the Bank of Japan vowed to increase the interest rate.
Currently, the price is making a correction and will possibly retrace to the 182.860 resistance level before making a further drop. The 182.860 is a strong resistance level and is also between the two major Fibonacci levels of 0.5 and 0.61.
I am expecting the price will go for an extended bearish trend from 182.860 and will drop to 174.045 and beyond.
