Since
last Friday the GBP/JPY started sharp downward fall and quited the comfortable
consolidation zone around 152.00. The pair broke to below two important support
levels provided by 61.8% and 50% Fibonacci retracement of latest February to
March bearish run. Today the next 38.2% level of same Fibo was tested but seems
that here the pair found support. Having posted 0.69% down for the day
currently the pair is trading around 149.50.
Technically speaking the short-term outlook remains bearish. On the four hour
time frame the price is developing well below its moving averages,which are
keeping downward slopes. RSI and stochastic are located withing negative
territories but yet there is room for furthеr declines.
Meanwhile the pair is situated below two bullish trend lines. First is provided
by post-Brexit levels and the other is the short-term trend line. As seen on
the same chart both are нов acting as resistance zones that confluent at 61.8%
Fibo. At this stage it is a very tough target for the bulls as Sterling still
is under huge pressure due to worse that expected macro data released today and
the prospects of a rate hike in May are getting very slim and this combined by
the next round political woes. To get back into the long-trend the pair should fиrst conqueр the resistances at 150.42 and 150.85.
