GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Guppy breaking into 4-month highs

  • The GBP/JPY pairing is challenging a four-month high at the 150.00 major handle, and a continued bull-run will see the Guppy on pace to break through April’s highs as well, though a bearish correction could be likely in the current zone, having already been rejected from the 149.00 – 150.00 zone twice before.
  • Support for the current bullish play is stacked in at the 50- and 200-hour EMAs, sitting at 148.18 and 146.70 respectively, while the familiar s/r level at 145.50 will be putting in a floor underneath any medium-term selloffs.
  • Technical indicators on the 4-hour  and Daily candles have the slow stochastics and RSI reaching firmly into overbought territory, warning against establishing long positions at these levels.
