FX.co ★ Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for October 31, 2017

We will retain our yesterday's prediction on the pair. GBP/JPY is still expected to trade with bullish outlook. The pair is trading above its rising 20-period and 50-period moving averages, which play support roles and maintain the bullish bias. The relative strength index is bullish and calls for a further advance. The downside potential should be limited by the key support at 149.10.

Hence, as long as this key level is not broken, look for a new challenge with targets at 150.40 and 150.90 in extension.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a short position is recommended below 149.10 with the target at 148.60.

Strategy: BUY, Stop Loss: 149.10, Take Profit: 150.40
