Fundamental Analysis

* Dovish Note: The pound sterling has slumped against the dollar, driven by robust U.S. employment data and a strong GDP report. Ahead of the New York session, reports highlighted a solid labor market and sustained economic expansion. Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending December 14 fell from 242K to 220K, outperforming the forecast of 230K. Additionally, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) announced that Q3 GDP growth hit 3.1%, surpassing the expected 2.8% and rising from 3% in Q2. Adding to the pound’s weakness, U.S. Treasury yields surged, with the 10-year note gaining seven basis points to 4.592%.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: GBPJPY was traded higher following prior breakout above the previous resistance level 196.450. MACD which illustrate diminishing bearish momentum signal suggest the pair to likely further extends its gains.

* Resistance and Support: If the bullish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards the level 198.950. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 193.70 after it breach back below the level 196.45.
