GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Rallies back above 144.00 mark, but lacks follow-through

   “¢   The cross once again managed to find decent support near the 142.60-50 horizontal zone and rallied back above the 144.00 handle in the last hour.

   “¢   Comments by the EU’s Barnier, saying that they are open to discussing other backstops with regards to the Irish border, turned out to be a key factor behind the sudden spike.  

   “¢   Given that the cross jumped back above 200-hour SMA, positive technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart now support prospects for additional intraday gains.

   “¢   The up-move, however, is likely to confront some stiff resistance at a short-term descending trend-line, extending from August 30, and might cap additional gains.
