Overview:

GBP/JPY is expected to trade in a higher range. It is supported by the rebounding of EUR/USD and demand from the Japanese importers. But GBP/JPY gains are tempered by the receding risk appetite and Japan's export sales. Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bearish, five-day moving average is below 15-day MA and is declining, but stochastics is turning bullish at oversold zone.

Trading recommendation:

In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 171.85. A breach of this target will push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 171.40. The pivot point is at 172.30.
