Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for March 24, 2017

GBP/JPY is Under pressure. The pair has been capped by both descending 20-period and 50-period moving averages and remains on the downside. The technical configuration remains negative as the 20-period moving average is below the 50-period one, and the relative strength index is below its neutrality area at 50.

As long as 139.35 holds as the key resistance, expect a break below the nearest support at 138.25 at first. A break below 138.25 allows for the further drop to 137.75 as likely.
