FX.co ★ Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for February 15, 2018

Our first target which we predicted in the yesterday's analysis has been hit. GBP/JPY is expected to trade with bullish bias above 148.60. Although the pair posted a pullback from 150.80, it is still supported by a bullish trend line. A support base at 148.60 has formed and has allowed for a temporary stabilization. The relative strength index is above its neutrality level at 50.

Therefore, as long as 148.60 is not broken, look for a new upside with targets at 150.00 and 150.80 in extension.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a short position is recommended to be below 148.60 with the target at 150.00.

Strategy: BUY, Stop loss at 148.60, Take profit at 150.00
