GBP/JPY fluctuated but managed to record gains for three consecutive days.
After briefly dropping to a daily low in the 214.25-214.30 range, the pair rebounded to a new weekly high of 214.70 in the first half of the European session.

✅ Fundamental Dynamics: Tokyo PPI Explosion vs. Gulf Military Incident
The direction of the GBP/JPY cross today is driven by the clash of upstream macro indicators and war tensions:
- ⚡Japan PPI Inflation Explosion (Fastest Pace in 3 Years): The Japanese yen gained solid fundamental strength after official data showed the Japanese Producer Price Index (PPI) for May surged sharply at the fastest pace in more than three years.
- ⚡MoF Intervention Fears: On the other hand, speculation of covert physical intervention by the Japanese Ministry of Finance (MoF) continues to loom large over the market, especially after last week's data revealed a USD 77 billion decline in foreign exchange reserves.
- ⚡USD Weakness Benefits Sterling: The pound benefited daily from a moderate pullback in the US Dollar Index (DXY) ahead of tonight's CPI data release.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ Technical Analysis: Testing the Weekly Supply Wall Area (H4)
Technically, GBP/JPY's recovery to the 214.70 range reflects the dominance of daily momentum buyers, but the price is now in an intraday overbought zone prone to price rejection.
- ⚡Lack of Bullish Conviction: Today's gain of less than 1.10% indicates that the market is moving on thin volume. Institutional market participants are reluctant to push the price above the psychological level of 215.00 before the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) results are released at 7:30 PM WIB tonight.
- ⚡Technical Structure: The 4-Hour (H4) chart indicates that as long as GBP/JPY is unable to close the daily candle above the 214.95 area, this upward structure is vulnerable to mass profit-taking and a reversal towards the daily support level at 214.25.
