If you're looking for a volatile currency pair to trade look no further than the GBP/JPY as I take a look at where it might be heading next.
The "dragon" in trading circles (a fun metaphor for powerful, trending market momentum—often fierce and unpredictable like a Chinese dragon) has been coiling and breathing fire lately. But where is it heading next as of January 13, 2026?
Current Market Snapshot
Global equities are mixed but leaning bullish early 2026. S&P 500 and Nasdaq hover near records on AI/tech optimism, but with caution from Fed watch and geopolitical noise. Forex sees USD softening (DXY ~102-103), commodity currencies (AUD, CAD) gaining on risk-on flows, and safe-havens (JPY, CHF) quiet.
The dragon looks headed higher in risk assets short-term—continued equity grind up, USD weakness supporting commodities/gold. But coiled for potential fire-breath downside if inflation data surprises hot or risk-off triggers hit.
