GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Ranging below 100-hour SMA
|• A combination of diverging forces led to a subdued/range-bounce price action at the start of a new trading week, with the cross struggling to make it through 100-period EMA on the 1-hourly chart.
• Brexit uncertainties continue to weigh on the British Pound, while risk-on mood dented the Japanese Yen's safe-haven appeal and eventually did little to provide any meaningful impetus to the cross.
• Technical indicators on the mentioned chart were oscillating in neutral territory and hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing move in either direction before initiating any fresh positions.
