On the flip side, failure at 156.61 could open the way for further losses. The first support level would be psychological 156.00. A break below that level would exert downward pressure on the pair, exposing vital support levels, as the September swing highs around 153.42, followed by the 150.00 psychological level.

The Relative Strength Indes (RSI) is at 67, indicating that upward pressure remains in place. However, as it is closer to overbought conditions, the GBP/JPY pair could print a correction before resuming the upward trend.
