GBP/JPY falls over 0.60%, impacted by cautious sentiment before Fed policy decision.
Drop below Tenkan-Sen (187.45) suggests more decline; watch supports at 186.00, 185.64.

The GBP/JPY plunged sharply during the North American session, down by more than 0.60% as market participants shifted risk-averse ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy decision. That, alongside the Bank of England (BoE) meeting on Thursday, keeps the Pound Sterling (GBP) downward pressured while the Japanese Yen (JPY) advances. At the time of writing, the cross exchanges hands at 186.15 after hitting a high of 187.59.
The pair is neutral biased but tilted to the downside after diving below the Tenkan-Sen at 187.45, That exacerbated the GBP/JPY fall below 187.00, which opened the door for further downside. The next support surfaces at 186.00, followed by the Senkou Span A at 185.64. Further downside is seen at 185.00.
On the other hand, if buyers step in, they must reclaim 187.00. Once that level is cleared, up next would be the Tenkan-Sen at 187.45, ahead of challenging 188.00, before testing fresh highs at 188.91, the January 23 high
