A series of weak economic data in Japan and other advice from Kuroda sent the yen weaker against major currencies, and the USD / JPY at its highest level since September 1998. Orders machine agreed to -5.6% in May, down -16.4 points. the 10.% in June.

EUR/GBP 4-hour chart:
We are not in the middle of the month and EUR/GBP is on the way for a bearish bearish move. Last week was the most bearish week since March 2020 as fears of a decline in Europe, sending the cross below 0.8500 and its 100-day eMA. A strong bearish trend has developed on the 4-hour chart, as prices are adding near lows as a bear flag.
However, we are waiting for the recovery before the bottom of the next leg, as it is not available yet. The bias is still below the pivot point (0.8512) so look for bearish settings up to that level, with the support area below 0.8400 currently.
