JPY and NZD are the only two currencies featured on the tables, both on the weak side.

This tells us that there is a lack of confluence for the stronger currencies.

In these conditions retail traders can lose money by trying to force a position.

Instead, we can take a look at the bigger picture and focus on the JPY weakness. 

GBPJPY has traded through the key highs of 165.75 and is heading towards the 169.00 resistance.

Minor highs have formed at 167.00 which could act as support if price were to retest.
