On January 18, according to the U.S. Capitol Hill newspaper, before Mondays inauguration, U.S. President-elect Trump "won a battle" because the Capitol will raise the American flag to its highest level instead of lowering it to half-mast on the day of the inauguration. Trump had previously been angry about the idea of lowering the flag to half-mast in memory of former President Carter. Carter died on December 29, and Biden announced that he would lower the flag to half-mast for 30 days. It was U.S. House Speaker Johnson who came to the rescue and dispelled concerns that Trumps second term would start with a "half-mast mourning" scene. Earlier this week, Johnson wrote on social media that next Monday, "the flags at the Capitol will fly at full flag to celebrate our countrys unity after the inauguration of the 47th President Donald Trump." Johnson pointed out that the flag would be lowered to half-mast again the day after the inauguration to commemorate Carter.According to the Ukrainian Pravda: The battlefield analysis agency DeepState said that the Russian army has made progress in several settlements in Kharkiv and Donetsk.According to the Ukrainian National News Agency: Poland plans to send a defense industry delegation to visit Ukraine.According to the Jerusalem Post: A Hamas official claimed that mediators involved in the hostage and ceasefire negotiations included a clause allowing Israel to resume military operations in Gaza if Hamas violates the agreement.Russian Ministry of Defense: Russian air defense system shot down 46 drones in Russia at night.

GBP/JPY Price Analysis: The 200-day exponential moving average is exerting selling pressure near 162.00

In the early Tokyo session, the GBP/JPY pair has encountered selling pressure as it attempts to surpass immediate resistance at 161.50. The cross has dropped sharply after failing to sustain significant resistance above 162.00. The asset is under pressure following a four-day gaining streak despite the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) announcement of a dovish policy stance in its summary of ideas.

 

The GBP/JPY pair saw a significant decrease after failing to sustain above the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 162.13 on an hourly scale. At 161.38, the cross is near to the 20-exponential moving average (EMA), indicating that the future is likely to be stressful. On a larger scale, potential support is indicated by the 21 December high near 161.00.

 

In the meantime, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has decreased from the bullish region of 60.00-80.00 to the neutral region of 40.00-60.00, suggesting that the upward momentum has ceased; however, the upside bias has not yet been lost.

 

For an upward move, the pair must surpass the December 28 high of 162.34, which will drive the cross toward the November 11 low of 163.00 and the December 2 low of 164.00.

 

Alternately, a violation of the high from December 21 around 161.00 would take the asset toward the low from December 26 at 160.19, then the low from December 21 at 159.50.
