GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Intraday positive momentum fails ahead of 200-hour SMA, no-deal vote in focus
|• Despite the overnight sharp swings, the cross showed remarkable resilience below the key 145.00 psychological mark and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the 143.72-147.78 recent upsurge.
• The cross managed to regain positive traction on Wednesday and climbed further beyond the 146.00 handle, albeit the positive momentum seemed to have run out of steam ahead of 200-hour SMA.
• Technical indicators on the daily chart maintained their bullish bias and have again started gaining positive traction on hourly charts, supporting prospects for an extension of the intraday up-move.
• However, it would be prudent to wait for a sustained move beyond the mentioned hurdle before traders start positioning for a move beyond the 147.00 mark, towards retesting the 147.70 supply zone.
