Overview:

GBP/JPY is expected to consolidate with a bearish bias. It is undermined by the increased investor risk aversion, weak euro sentiment, and Japan export sales. But GBP/JPY losses are tempered by the demand from Japanese importers. Daily chart is negative-biased as stochastics is bearish, MACD histogram bars are turning negative, five-day moving average is falling below 15-day MA.

Trading recommendation:
The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as far as it remains below its pivot point. Short position is recommended with the first target at 170.70. A breach of this target will move the pair further downwards to 170.30. The pivot point stands at 171.55. In case the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from the support level, and then it moves above its pivot point. It is likely to move further to the upside. In that scenario, a long position is recommended with the first target at 171.90 and the second target at 172.35.
