GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Forms a base near 100-hour SMA ahead of UK CPI/Cabinet meeting

   “¢   The cross on Tuesday rebounded sharply from 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the 142.77-149.49 recent upsurge and now seemed to form a base near 100-hour SMA.

   “¢   Technical indicators on hourly/daily charts have managed to hold in bullish territory and thus, support prospects for an extension of the intraday positive momentum.  

   “¢   Despite a constructive set-up, the cross was seen oscillating in a narrow trading band as traders seemed reluctant to place aggressive bets ahead of the crucial UK Cabinet meeting.

   “¢   A sustained below the mentioned support, leading to a subsequent breakthrough the very important 200-day SMA, might negate the bullish outlook and prompt some aggressive selling.
