GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: a bearish breakdown seems imminent

   “¢   The cross has failed to sustain above 200-hour SMA and now seems to have formed a bearish Head & Shoulders chart pattern on the 1-hourly chart.

   “¢   Short-term technical indicators have struggled to move back in positive territory and further reinforce the bearish chart pattern formation.  

   “¢   A sustained break below the neckline support would be needed to confirm a fresh breakdown and a resumption of the prior depreciating move.
