Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for June 26, 2017

As predicted on Fridayб GBP/JPY is trading higher. The pair is trading above the rising 50-period moving average, which plays a support role and maintains the upside bias. The relative strength index is mixed with a bullish bias. Even though a continuation of the consolidation cannot be ruled out, its extent should be limited.

Hence, above 141.20, look for a further upside 142.70 and 143 in extension.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the opposite direction as predicted, a short position is recommended below 140.80 with the target at 140.35.

Resistance levels: 142.70, 143.00, and 143.45
