GBP/JPY Slowly Inches Downward
Dailyfx | Jul 01, 2015 02:08AM ET
Talking Points:
- GBP/JPY Technical Strategy: Short at 192.83
- Support: 190.91, 187.85, 185.37
- Resistance: 192.80, 194.93, 195.87
The British pound is making cautious downward progress against the Japanese yen after breaking two-month rising trend support. A daily close below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 190.91 exposes the 38.2% level at 187.85. Alternatively, a reversal above the 14.6% Fib at 192.80 clears the way for a test of the 194.33-93 area (range floor support-turned-resistance, trend line).
We entered short GBPJPY at 192.83, initially aiming for 190.91. A stop-loss will be triggered on a daily close above 194.33. We will book half of the position and adjust the stop-loss to breakeven (192.83) prices reach the first target.
