GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Sustained move beyond 137.00 handle to prompt aggressive short-covering

   “¢   The pair’s post-flash crash recovery from 26-month lows has been along a short-term ascending trend-channel formation on intraday charts.  

   “¢   Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have been gaining positive traction and remained supportive of the ongoing positive momentum.  

   “¢   Moreover, oscillators on the daily chart are yet to recover from oversold territory and support prospects for an extension of the recovery move.

   “¢   A sustained move beyond the 137.00 handle would reinforce the constructive set-up and prompt some aggressive short-covering move in the near-term.

   “¢   Bulls might then target a move beyond the 138.00 handle, though might face difficulty near the trend-channel resistance, currently near mid-138.00s.
