AI analyst comment
GBPJPY has spent the month between 206.883 and 211.275. The Sep 18 spike to 211.275 has been fully retraced, and the last five sessions are compressed between 206.88 and 210.0. MACD is below zero but its histogram has turned positive at +0.19, while RSI 41.5 sits under the midline, so momentum is neutralising rather than trending. Retail is 64% long, a mild contrarian headwind. A close below 206.883 would break the range lower, while reclaiming 209.993 would shift focus back to 210.89-211.275.

Historical Sentiment
Sentiment Interpretation
Retail leans long (64%). Our signals read positioning contrarian and weigh it by how one-sided it is: near 60/40 it barely registers, and its weight grows with the imbalance - full strength only comes near a true 90/10 extreme.

Retail
Open GBP/JPY on TradingViewCharts drawn with TradingView Lightweight Charts™ · Copyright (с) 2025 TradingView, Inc.
Daily candles from our broker price feed, 2 October 2023 to 2 October 2026 (bid prices; the day closes at 17:00 New York); weekly and monthly candles are built from them. Drag to pan; scroll, drag the time axis or pinch to zoom. On a touch screen, drag the price scale with one finger to move the chart up or down, with two to stretch it, and double-tap it to reset.
The 15-minute, hourly and four-hour candles come from the same feed and load when you pick them; older ones load by themselves as you scroll left, back to the start of the archive. Four-hour candles open at 17:00, 21:00, 01:00, 05:00, 09:00 and 13:00 New York, as on TradingView. Their last candle is still forming and refreshes about every minute while the view is open. On those views the retail positioning is drawn as steps: it is a snapshot every 3 hours, not a minute-by-minute reading.
Retail positioning: daily snapshots since 12 May 2025, 464 so far · latest 64% long at 2 Oct 21:00 UTC; on the weekly and monthly views it is the average of the trading days.
