A breakdown in this level by one of the currencies will lead to the cancellation of this trend. For the GBP / USD pair, we observe a small local structure for the downward movement of August 21. For the USD / JPY pair, the continuation of the downward movement is expected after the breakdown of 109.10. For the EUR / JPY pair, we follow the formation of the downward structure from August 16 where we expect the development of this structure to continue after the breakdown of 127.90. For the GBP / JPY pair, the price is still in the correction area. The continuation of the downward movement is possible after the breakdown of 139.90.
