GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Spikes to 2-month tops post-UK CPI

   “¢   The cross built on last week’s bullish break through an important confluence region, comprising of 100-day SMA, a short-term descending trend-line and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the 156.61-139.90 downfall.  

   “¢   The positive momentum got an additional boost from hotter-than-expected UK CPI consumer inflation figures, lifting the cross further beyond 50% Fibonacci retracement level to a two-month high level of 148.54.

   “¢   Technical indicators on the daily chart are still a bit away from near-term overbought conditions and thus, support prospects for an extension of the bullish trajectory amid optimism over the EU-UK Brexit deal.

   “¢   Fresh Brexit headlines coming from the informal EU summit in Salzburg on Wednesday and Thursday will now play a key role in determining the next leg of a directional move for the British Pound.
