Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for February 23, 2018

GBP/JPY is expected to trade with bearish outlook as key resistance is at 149.50. Although the pair posted a rebound from 148.50, it is still capped by a declining 50-period moving average. The upside potential should be limited by the key resistance at 149.50. The relative strength index is below its neutrality level at 50.

Therefore, below 149.50, look for another drop with targets at 149.50 and 147.90 in extension.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a long position is recommended to be above 149.50 with the target at 150.00.

Strategy: SELL, Stop loss at 149.50, Take profit at 148.50
