GBP/JPY is under pressure and expected to extend its downside movement. As long as the polarity level (former support now acting as a resistance) at 151.00 is not surpassed, the risk of the break below 149.70 remains high. Indeed, intraday technical indicators are lacking upward momentum and the declining 50-period moving average maintains a downside pressure.

As a consequence, below 151.00, a downside breakout of 149.70 is expected with next down targets standing at 149.15 and 148.45.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the direction opposite to the forecast, a long position is recommended above 151.00 with the target at 151.80.

Strategy: BUY, Stop Loss: 151.00, Take Profit: 149.70
