GBP/JPY correction continues
A week ago the pair reached at 188.80 the strongest level since August but it reversed the trend and started to fell. It fells constantly during the next four days, going from monthly highs to the lowest in two weeks.
From last week highs it has fallen more than 400 pips amid a stronger Japanese yen amid some risk aversion in financial market and a weak Pound, that today was among the worst performers. The decline pushed the pair below a short term uptrend line that was broken at 186.50.
