GBP/JPY ticked higher in the previous two trading days, forming a bear flag – a bearish continuation pattern, which usually accelerates the preceding bearish move – on the 4-hour chart, as seen below.
4-hour chart
The pair has dived out of the bear flag. A breakdown would be confirmed if the currency 4-hour candle closes below the lower edge of the flag.
That would create a room for at least 300 pip move to the downside (target as per the measured move method).
The bearish view is backed by a below-50 reading on the relative strength index.
Trend: Bearish
