GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Testing 148.00 early
|- The GBP/JPY pair is popping to test the 148.00 key barrier early on Wednesday after headlines broke that the UK and the EU may be much closer to achieving a workable trade deal than previously thought.
- Overbought readings are beginning to show on intraday indicators, implying the bullish push may face some downward pressure before the trend can resume.
- Wednesday will also be seeing inflation data for the UK at 08:30 GMT, and GBP traders should be braced for a bearish turnaround if the numbers fail to meet expectations.
