  • GBP/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 170.69 169.33 167.99
  • Resistance: 172.85 174.34 175.84

The British Pound may be readying to turn lower against the Japanese Yen after prices put in a Harami candlestick pattern. A daily close below the 170.69-99 area (August 8 low 23.6% Fib) exposes the September 8 low at 169.33. Alternatively a break above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracementat 172.85 opens the door for a test of the 173.83-174.34 zone (July 30 close 50% level).

A Harami pattern is not a sufficiently actionable signal to enter short without further confirmation. We will remain on the sidelines for now waiting for positioning to offer greater clarity before committing to a trade.
