GBP/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
Support: 177.17, 176.31, 175.15
Resistance: 178.48, 179.73, 180.74
The British Pound may be readying to turn higher against the Japanese Yen after prices put in a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 178.48 exposes the 38.2% level at 179.73. Alternatively, a turn below the 14.6% Fib expansion at 177.17 opens the door for a test of the 176.31-40 area (23.6% threshold, triple bottom).
The available trading range is too narrow to justify entering a trade on the long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now, waiting for price action to offer a more compelling opportunity down the road.
