FX.co ★ GBP/JPY Technical Levels and Trading Recommendations for November 21, 2012

Overview

Proceeding from today's 4H chart, the pair continues its upward move and manages to break the Resistance level 130.00. Currently the pair is testing the Resistance level 130.75. Given that the pair continues its bullish move and manages to break the Resistance level 130.75, we will receive a strong indicator for more bullish signals which will enable the Resistance level of 131.00 as the level target. Then we should wait for breaking this Resistance level to continue the upward move and open the way towards the Resistance level of 131.35.

On the other hand, if the pair fails to break the Resistance level of 130.75 and bounces from it, it may reverse the bullish move taking a downward move which will enable the Support level of 130.00. Then we should wait for breaking this Support level in order to get new bearish signals. In case the pair is able to break the Support level and closes 4H below, we will get a bearish strength providing new sell signals which will enable the Support level of 129.05 as a level target. Based on the given H4 chart, the technical indicators provide buy signals, but as long as the Resistance level of 130.75 is unbroken, the downward move is still expected invalidating the bullish outlook. Therefore, we should wait for more confirmations before making the decision.

Trading Recommendations

According to the previous analysis, we recommend buying after breaking the Resistance level of 130.75 and closing 4H above with TP 131.10; SL closing 4 hours below the Resistance level will be appropriate.
