USDJPY Technical Analysis:

USDJPY is in an uptrend, trading inside the bullish channel. As seen in the chart, the price continuously makes higher highs and lowers. The market is stuck between the two zones, $149.036 and $151.763.

There is no sign of bearish movement, as the 50EMA also supports the trend by ranging below the current price. The RSI line is at 62.73, signalling an overbought condition. Traders should go with the trend, and the overall trend is bullish. It is a valid BUY if the price stays above the $149.036 zone.

GBPUSD Technical Analysis:

GBPUSD was in a downtrend, with the price trading inside the bearish channel. The price recently formed its bottom at $1.20371 and went into a consolidation state. The price was stuck between $1.20691 and $1.22988.

The price most recently broke out of range, and the 50EMA moved up. A fake breakout could be seen during the previous swing high formation, but then an inverted hammer formation showed the bears are still slightly in control of the price. Drawing a bullish trend line validates an incoming bullish move as a small Doji candle at the trend line shows indecision.

A confluence could be seen where buyers had a good trading opportunity. Price may trade and break the previous swing high; if it did, a lower time frame could give a better understanding of the entry for a BUY. The next major resistance would be near $1.25434. However, the trend is bearish and may go further if the buyers cannot maintain the momentum.
