Forex: GBP/JPY recovers the mark of 151.33/41
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The GBP/JPY has edged higher in recent moments, paring the majority of its losses from the 150.56 level (session low). Following the publication of a recent tranche of economic indicators out of the United Kingdom, the pair has recovered the mark of 151.33/41 at the time of writing during European trading, operating just -0.08% today.
Briefing the technicals, the GBP/JPY will encounter calculated resistance at 152.20, followed by 152.86, and finally 153.66. By extension, a move lower will open up supports at 150.74, then 149.94, and ultimately 149.28, notes the Mataf.net analyst team.
According to the ICN.com analyst team, “The GBP/JPY is holding below the 151.60 resistance, failing to break above the level, while RSI signals overbought conditions over the daily, four-hour and hourly timeframes, thus we will continue to anticipate a minor pullback before expecting a bullish move.”
In the United Kingdom, Goods Trade Balance (February) came in at £-9.416B, against estimates of just £8.550B. Moreover, Industrial Production (YoY) has fallen only -2.2% in February, vs. a projected -2.8%. Finally, Manufacturing Production (YoY) contracted -1.4% in February, beating a consensus of -1.5%.
