FX.co ★ Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for September 28, 2017

We will retain our yesterday's prediction of GBP/JPY that it is expected to trade with a bullish outlook. The pair is facing the challenge of its key support level at 150.70 and is likely to test it in the coming trading hours. The technical indicator such as the relative strength index is mixed and calls for caution. Furthermore, the 20-period moving average is flat now.

To sum up, as long as 150.70 holds on the downside, look for a choppy price action with the bullish bias. Our next up target is set at 151.80.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a short position is recommended below 150.30 with the target at 150.35.
