GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Corrective bounce is gathering pace

  • Currently, the GBP/JPY pair is trading above the 50-hour exponential moving average (EMA) of 146.18, having charted a bullish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI) on the hourly chart.
  • The RSI on the hourly chart has turned bullish above 50.00.
  • Hence, the cross looks set to test the 100-day EMA of 146.52. Further gains could be short-lived as the 5-day and 10-day EMAs are trending south and the daily RSI below 50.00 is biased toward the bears.
  • A daily close below 145.96 (38.2% Fib R of 139.90/149.72) would put the bears back into the driver’s seat.
