GBP/JPY

Analysis:

The incomplete upward price movement from November 26 last year in the GBP/JPY cross chart has exceeded the retracement level of the previous bearish section. Accordingly, in the wave pattern, the current surge refers to the last part of the uptrend. The price has reached a large scale resistance zone.

Outlook:

Today, we can expect a continuation of the general upward vector of price movement. On the European session a short-term decline, not beyond the estimated support, can be expected. An upside trend is more likely at the end of the day.

Potential reversal zones

Resistance:

- 157.70/158.00

Support:
