Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for December 27, 2017

GBP/JPY is expected to trade with a bullish outlook. The pair remains upside above the key support at 151.00. Besides, the 20-period moving average has moved up, and also has crossed above the 50-period one (a positive signal). Furthermore, the intraday relative strength index is above its neutrality area at 50 and is also displaying upside momentum.

Therefore, as long as 151.00 holds on the downside, look for a new target to 151.75 and 152.00 in extension.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a short position is recommended below 151.00 with the target at 150.75
