GBP/JPY is expected to trade with bearish bias above 141.25. The pair is trading below its 20-period and 50-period moving averages, while the 20-period moving average crossed above the 50-period one. The relative strength index stands firmly above its neutrality level at 50 and lacks downward momentum. Additionally, 141.25 represents a significant key resistance level, which should limit the upside potential. As long as 141.25 holds on the upside, look for a further downside toward 138.70 and even 137.25 in extension.
The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as long as it remains below the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 138.70. A break below this target will move the pair further downwards to 137.25. The pivot point stands at 141.25. In case the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from the support level, it will go above its pivot point. It is likely to move further to the upside. According to that scenario, long positions are recommended with the first target at 138.70 and the second one at 137.25.
Resistance levels: 142.40, 143.25, 144.10
