GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Strong bullish momentum struggled to sustain above 200-hour SMA
|• The cross has been oscillating between two converging trend-lines over the past 48-hours or so, forming a bullish falling wedge chart pattern on the 1-hourly chart.
• The latest bullish Brexit headlines provided the required momentum to finally assist the cross to break through the consolidative range and rally to fresh weekly tops.
• Bulls, however, struggled to extend the strong positive momentum beyond 200-hour SMA, with the cross quickly retreating around 60-pips from the 145.00 neighborhood.
• Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart are already pointing to overbought conditions and turned out to be one of the key factors keeping a lid on any strong follow-through.
• Moreover, oscillators on 4-hourly/daily charts are yet to catch up with the positive momentum and suggest caution before initiating any aggressive near-term bullish bets.
