GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls eye the 4-hour resistance

  • GBP/JPY is drifting higher within a strong bullish longer-term trend.
  • The near-term charts point to a period of consolidation and a move in on 4-hour resistance.  

The market is mixed across the time frames from a structural point of view, but the upside bias is compelling on the longer-term outlook.

The nearer-term picture sees the price testing key levels of market structure as illustrated in the following 4 and 1-hour charts.
