Forex technicals: GBP/JPY nears 15-month peak in rally ; Intervention from the Bank of Japan?
GBP/JPY is getting bought, driven by recent trends for the UK and Japan. PM Takaichi approved a massive $¥21$ trillion stimulus, which paradoxically increases pressure on the BoJ for a rate hike by Dec 18th. Meanwhile, the UK Budget's fiscally conservative stance is boosting the Pound, making it a top performer. If the current rally extends, the pair will target its July 2024 peak. We dive into a multi-timeframe analysis of GBP/JPY.

EUR/USD technical analysis: Spotting Mean Reversion in the 2,000 pip Range
The EUR/USD is actively contracting into a tight 2,000-pip consolidation range between 1.15 and 1.17. Recent dollar demand from hawkish Fed repricing is being offset by dovish comments from NY Fed President Williams, which put the December rate cut back on the table (70% priced in). We analyze the EUR/USD in this rangebound, non-trending environment.

Technically, EUR/USD eyes a lower low, but this is contingent on the US Dollar Index not forming a double top. All eyes are on ECB President Lagarde's speech today regarding strengthening the Euro's world stage role.
