GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Bulls need a convincing break above 50-hour MA

• The GBP/JPY hourly chart shows a bullish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI).
• A break above the 50-hour moving average (MA) of 144.18 would further validate the early signs of bull reversal and open the doors to 145.01 (August 2 low resistance on the hourly chart).
• That said, a break below 144.00 would weaken the bull case.
