GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: rejected at a descending trend-line resistance ahead of UK PMI

   “¢   Last week’s goodish recovery move from near one-month low faces rejection at a descending trend-line hurdle, extending from May 18 top through highs set on June 12/13/14.

   “¢   Only a convincing breakthrough the mentioned barrier, also coinciding with 200-period SMA on the 4-hourly chart, would pave the way for an extension of the near-term up-move.

   “¢   Short-term technical indicators have gradually moved into bullish territory and hence, a slightly better-than-expected UK manufacturing PMI print might be enough to provide the required lift.
