GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Set-up remains in favor of bullish traders, sustained move beyond 147.00 mark awaited

   “¢   Having shown some resilience below the key 145.00 psychological mark in the previous session, the cross regained positive traction and climbed to two-week tops on Wednesday.

   “¢   Bulls, however, failed to capitalize on the up-move and struggled to extend the momentum further beyond the 147.00 handle following the disappointing release of the UK services PMI.

   “¢   Looking at the broader picture, the cross has been finding decent support near the 143.80-70 region marked by 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the 135.80-148.88 strong upsurge.

   “¢   Meanwhile, technical indicators on 4-hourly/daily chart have just started gaining positive momentum and thus, support prospects for an extension of the near-term appreciating move.  

   “¢   A sustained move beyond the 147.00 handle will reaffirm the positive bias and lift the cross beyond the 148.00 round figure mark towards testing the 148.30-40 supply zone.
