GBP/JPY chart and technical analysis

GBP/JPY has been in a bullish trend since January 2024 after the price made a double bottom around the 178.800 price level. Since then the price has made higher highs and gained 7.28%. However, the market structure seems to reversing as the price made a significant drop in the last two weeks and formed a bearish head and shoulder pattern.

The bearish head and shoulder pattern is a reversal pattern after which is mostly followed by a bearish trend. Currently, the price is retesting the 190.800 resistance level from where the price is likely to drop to new lows. Moreover, the price created long bearish candles when it dropped and created imbalances which further signifies that the price is likely to drop from this level.

I am considering the 190.800 resistance level for sell entry and my target for this trade is the 188.00 support level.
