GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Turns higher for second straight session after mixed UK data

   “¢   The cross regained positive traction from the 143.00 neighborhood and refreshed session tops following the release of mixed UK economic data.

   “¢   The uptick, however, lacked any strong follow-through/conviction and remained capped amid the prevalent cautious mood across global financial markets.

   “¢   Neutral technical indicators on hourly/daily charts have failed to support any firm directional bias, albeit Brexit optimism remained supportive.  

   “¢   Any meaningful up-move is likely to confront stiff resistance near a short-term descending trend-line, forming a part of a bearish triangular formation on the 4-hourly chart.
