GBP/JPY Weekly Price Forecast – British Pound Finds Support

The British pound has fallen a bit during the course of the week to break down below the ¥150 level, an area that of course is a large, round, psychologically significant figure. That is an area that will attract a lot of attention and has offered support for a couple of different attempts at breaking down. That being said, the market is still overextended so I do think that eventually we need to either pull back there or simply kill time in order to get rid of the excess froth in the market.

If we do break down below the last couple of candlesticks, then it is likely that the British pound drops to the ¥145 level, but at that point I would anticipate seeing a lot of support as well. We are obviously in an uptrend so I do think that it is only a matter of time before we try to go higher, assuming that we can continue a “risk on” attitude. Otherwise, if we see some type of market shock or “risk off” type of move, then it is markedly negative for this market and then I think that what we are looking at is a situation where this is simply going to go back and forth with the idea of how the market is “feeling.”

Ultimately, the ¥153.50 level above being broken could open up the possibility of a move towards the ¥155 level. That of course is the next large, round, psychologically significant figure, and it will almost certainly cause a bit of profit-taking. I think it is a tempting target for the buyers, so will have to wait and see whether or not they can make that happen.
