- This new up move has extended following the BoE decision to leave interest rates unchanged.

GBP/JPY Daily Chart
A new short-term uptrend appears to have formed and is carrying GBP/JPY higher. It is currently hitting support-turned-resistance at 190.34 and could stall. If it decisively breaks higher it will probably target the 50 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages at 192.08 and 190.34 respectively. These are likely to produce even more resistance and may be difficult to break above.
The medium-term trend is sideways and chaotic providing no hints as to where the underlying current is flowing.
This suggests caution should be exercised by traders as price could flip at any moment and start moving in the opposite direction.
