GBP/JPY struggles to extend the previous eight-day uptrend, retreating from an intraday high to 156.30 during Friday’s Asian session.
In doing so, the cross-currency pair justifies the overbought RSI conditions as a downward sloping trend line from January 05 challenges the bulls around 156.30.35.
It should be noted, however, that a pullback will initially aim for the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of January’s downturn, around 155.90.
However, a convergence of the 200-DMA and a three-week-long rising trend line, near 155.20, will challenge the GBP/JPY bears afterward.
On the contrary, an upside clearance of the 156.35 hurdle will GBP/JPY prices towards January 18 swing high near 156.90 and then to the 157.00 threshold.
In a case where GBP/JPY buyers manage to keep reins past 157.00, multiple hurdles around 157.40-50 will be crucial for a watch.
Trend: Further weakness expected
