2026/02/17 GBP/JPY Trade Strategy

Today's GBP/JPY call: Sell.
If you went short around 10 am JST (01:00 UTC) on the retracement after price broke below yesterday’s support line, it’s about time to take profit.
From here, I’ll watch whether we get a bit of a retracement rally or a further break to the downside.
A drop after a shallow retracement is also possible, so I’m keeping a close eye on the price action around 208.5.
Review

It was Scenario C.
After breaking below the C line, price retraced up to the rally high and then started falling again, so I went short at the red circle.
I took profit where the decline stalled at the blue line around the 207.2 target. 74 pips
