FX.co ★ Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for September 29, 2017

GBP/JPY is expected to trade with a bearish bias below 151.60. The pair has clearly turned down, and remains capped by its falling 20-period and 50-period moving averages. The nearest resistance at 1.2475 maintains the strong selling pressure on the prices. Besides, the relative strength index is still below its neutrality area at 50.

In which case, as long as 151.60 is not surpassed, look for a return to 150.35 at first. A break below 150.35 would trigger a drop towards 149.95.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a long position is recommended above 152.25 with the target at 152.80.

Strategy: SELL, Stop Loss: 151.60, Take Profit: 150.35
