GBPJPY 30min Chart
Notes: Since we last highlighted the GBPJPY on June 25th, the pair has achieved two of the three profit targets before turning over just ahead of the final objective at 175.50 (high was 175.35). The subsequent pullback has taken sterling back into a key inflection point at 173.75. This level is defined by channel support dating back to May and the 61.8% extension taken from the advance off the 2014 low. The July opening range low comes in a tad lower at 173.27 and we’ll reserve this threshold as our near-term bullish invalidation level.
Intra-week momentum divergence in the RSI signature yesterday suggests the pair is vulnerable for a reversal with the weekly opening range low coming in at key support. Bottom line: looking to buy pullbacks while above 173.75 with only a break/close below the monthly low at 173.27 invalidating our medium-term bias heading into the end of July. Use caution heading into the BoE interest rate decision tomorrow as thin liquidity conditions could fuel added volatility in sterling crosses.
