FX.co ★ Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for November 14, 2017

GBP/JPY is expected to trade with a bullish outlook. The pair managed to hold above its key level at 148.40, and the process of higher highs and lows remains intact on the prices. Even though a continuation of the consolidation cannot be ruled out at the current stage, its extent should be limited by 148.40.

As long as this threshold is not broken, a further advance is expected to 148 and 147.75 in extension.

Therefore, as long as 148.95 holds on the upside, look for a new decline to 148.00 and even to 147.75 in extension.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a SHORT position is recommended below 148.40 with the target at 148.00.

Strategy: BUY, Stop Loss: 148.40, Take Profit: 149.45
