Our forecast
GBP/JPY: The Pound has recovered most of its losses since its fall from last weeks session, and has recovered above its 500 EMA which is technically considered a positive sign. However, The Pound needs to maintain above 147.900 to hold the current trend. The pair currently trades at 148.61 and could continue to 148.340 if it maintains above 147.900. A break above 148.340 could clear the path for a further run to the upside. The pair could also fall to its 500 EMA at 147.630 if it fails at 147.900
Support - 147.900, 147.630, and 147.470
Resistance/ Target - 148.160, 148.340, 148.590, and 148.850
