Technical analysis: GBP/JPY needs to break 203.50 to confirm a trend shift

The technical picture shows easing bearish pressure. The 4-Hour RSD has popped up above the key 50 level, and the MACD in the same timeframe is turning higher.

Bulls, however, will need to breach the resistance area around 203.50, where the trendline resistance from last week’s highs meets the October 10 high, to confirm the trend shift. Further up, the intraday resistance, at 204.55, and the October 8 high, at 205.20, will come into focus.

On the downside, immediate support is at Friday’s low of 201.85. Below there, bears would be enticed to the 50% Fibonacci retracement, at 201.35, and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, which meets October 5 lows at the 200.30 area.
