1. Fundamental & Macro Flow
GBP/JPY closed at 208.08 in the 11/09/2026 session (ECB/Frankfurter reference rate; the logged-in MT5 terminal still returns no FX data), down -0.18% — Thursday's bounce (+0.26% to 208.46) stopped under the broken 78.6% Fib (re-priced to 209.70 by the 9-month window's rotation) and gave most of it back on Friday. The 9-month low re-priced higher to 207.13 (the old 206.47 left the window) — 95 pips below the close. The read stays BEAR and the geometry stays blocked: sigma20 at 122 pips puts the 2.5-sigma20 intervention floor at 304 pips — a short would need a target ~608 pips lower (202.00), under the 9-month low. The BoJ ~80% priced for +25 bp (1.25%) and the BoE at 3.75% decide in the same week (Sep 17-18). Indicators computed from the ECB/Frankfurter daily series (540 sessions, 01/08/2024 to 11/09/2026).
2. Technical Architecture
Main Trend
Close under the 200-day SMA (212.93) and under the 50-day (215.30), with the 50-day still above the 200-day — the breakdown sequence (210.57 → 209.39 → 207.91) keeps the resolution bearish: a bear read with the bounce capped under the broken 78.6% Fib (209.70).
Critical Liquidity Zones
Nearest Macro Support:
207.13 (9-month low, re-priced), with the 207.00 round beneath — 207.91 (the 10/20-day low) is the first defense.
207.13 (mínima de 9 meses, reprecificada), com o redondo 207.00 abaixo — 207.91 (mínima de 10/20 pregões) é a primeira defesa.
Nearest Macro Resistance:
209.70 (re-priced 78.6% Fib) / 209.00 round, with the broken Sep 3 low (210.57) and the 50% Fib / 200-day SMA confluence (213.14-212.93) above.
209.70 (Fib 78,6% reprecificada) / redondo 209.00, com a mínima quebrada de 03/09 (210.57) e a confluência Fib 50% / SMA200 (213.14-212.93) acima.
Price Action Behavior
No entry — direction resolved bearish, geometry blocked: with sigma20 = 122 pips, the intervention floor (2.5-sigma20 = 304 pips) demands an anchor ~608 pips away and it sits under the 9-month low; a long has no structure. Re-arm: sigma20 compression or a structured retest of 209.70-210.57. The BoE/BoJ Sep 17-18 week arbitrates.

Final Justification
The bounce stopped exactly where the rule says to respect it: under the broken Fib, now re-priced to 209.70 by the 9-month window's rotation. Below, the low also re-priced to 207.13 — and even with the nearer target, the intervention floor (304 pips) demands aiming at ~202.00, where nothing but rounds exist. After the July intervention and the Sep 3 surge, the lesson holds: do not pay up to stand in front of the MoF. Out of the market until the structure — or the BoJ — delivers something.
