GBP/JPY on the verge of testing low edge of next resistance range at 173.91
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - GBP/JPY is now right below the lower edge of the next Fibonacci price projection range at 173.91 to 175.35.
GBP/JPY traders await data from Britain for more guidance this week
Britain is now being talked about as one of the leading growth areas in the European (and surrounding) arena. Meanwhile, Japan is clearly still in easing mode as they struggle to get their economy re-flated. That combination is what is making the chart of GBP/JPY one of the more bullish charts around.
This week, GBP/JPY traders will be focused only on British data points as Japan is basically dark for the week. The data due out of Britain includes:
• Monday – British Nationwide Housing Prices
• Tuesday – Nothing
• Wednesday – New Years Day holiday
• Thursday – British Manufacturing PMI;
• Friday – British Consumer Credit; British Mortgage Approvals; BOE Credit Conditions Survey; British Net
Lending to Individuals and British Construction PMI
Technical outlook for GBP/JPY
Technicians say that GBP/JPY is testing the next upside target for the cross at 173.91 which is the lower edge of a range of Fibonacci price targets. Above that, the upper edge of that range comes in at 175.35. Support for the cross comes into play at last Monday’s low of 169.76 and is followed up by the 12/17 low at 166.57.
