GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Rallies hard to 145.00 neighborhood on positive Brexit headlines

   “¢   The British Pound rallied hard across the board on news reports that the UK and Germany have decided to abandon some key Brexit demands.

   “¢   The cross caught some aggressive bids and surged around 230-pips, easily surpassing 100/200-hour SMA confluence hurdle near mid-143.00s.

   “¢   The bullish momentum now seems to have paused near the key 145.00 psychological mark, which if cleared should pave the way for additional intraday gains.

   “¢   RSI (14) on the 1-hourly chart has jumped above 70, indicating overbought conditions, and could be the only factor limiting further positive momentum.
