GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: flag breakout in 15-minute chart

The bull flag breakout seen in the GBP/JPY’s 15-minute chart indicates the 100-day moving average (MA), which proved a tough nut to crack last week, could be put to test again.  

As of writing, the pair is trading at 143.50 and the long-term MA is seen at 144.62

15-min chart

As seen above, the flag breakout witnessed earlier today has accelerated the preceding bullish move. More importantly, the breakout has opened up upside towards 144.60 – target as per the measured move method, that is, pole height added to breakout price.  

Interestingly, the 10-day MA is also lined up just above 144.60.  

The bullish setup would be invalidated below the psychological support of 144.00.
