Our first upside target which we predicted in yesterday's analysis has been hit. GBP/JPY is expected to trade with a bullish outlook. The pair is clearly in an up-trend, backed by its rising trend line. A strong support base has formed around 136.00, which should limit any downside room. Besides, the relative strength index is bullish, and calls for a new rise.

To conclude, as long as 155.70 holds on the downside, look for a new bounce to 157.00 and 157.70 in extension.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a Short position is recommended to be below 155.70 with the target at 155.20.

Strategy: BUY, Stop loss at 155.70, Take profit at 157.00
