Overview:

GBP/JPY is expected to trade in a higher range. It is supported by the reduced risk aversion and demand from Japan importers. But GBP/JPY gains are tempered by the Japan exporter sales and diminished expectations of further easing from the Bank of Japan. Daily chart is still negative-biased as MACD and stochastics is in bearish mode.

Trading recommendation:
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a higher range as far as it remains above its pivot point. As far as the price is above its pivot point, a long position is recommended with the first target at 172.10 and the second target at 172.75. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 170.55. A breach of this target will push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 170.06. The pivot point is at 170.90.
