GBP/JPY may fall 99 - 146 pips

Our pivot point stands at 200.19.

Our preference

The downside prevails as long as 200.19 is resistance.

Alternative scenario

The upside breakout of 200.19, would call for 200.99 and 201.46.

Comment

The RSI is trading below 30. This could mean that either the pair is in a lasting downtrend or just oversold and that therefore a rebound could shape (look for bullish divergence in this case). The MACD is negative and below its signal line. The configuration is negative. Moreover, the price stands below its 20 and 50 period moving average (respectively at 200.14 and 200.15). Finally, the GBP/JPY is trading below its lower Bollinger band (standing at 199.31).
