GBP/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
-
Support: 183.47 181.84 179.19
-
Resistance: 186.60 188.23 190.88
The British Pound has entered consolidation mode after finding resistance below the 187.00 figure against the Japanese Yen. A daily close above resistance in the 186.11-60 area marked by the November 20 high and the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion exposes the 23.6% level at 188.23. Alternatively a turn below the 183.47-184.31 zone (November 6 high 14.6% Fib retracement) opens the door for a test of the 23.6% retracement at 181.84.
Risk/reward considerations argue against entering long with prices in close proximity to resistance. On the other hand the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests taking up the short side is premature. We will remain flat for now waiting for a more actionable opportunity to present itself.
