Support Levels: 159.680, 151.000, 149.500
The current trend in the market is likely a repeat of what happened in late February of last year. The price rose to break new barriers and then created support at 149.500. Despite the best efforts of the sellers, GBPJPY held above 149.500. The market began to expand from here by breaking the 153.280 resistance to set a new resistance at 158.060. Now, GBPJPY has exceeded this also.
The market is setting camp below a new price level of 164.000, which happens to be a 6-year market high. The price is recovering from a retracement to retest the resistance level again, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is now approaching the overbought region again. Meanwhile, the EFI (Elders Force Index) emphasizes bullish strength in the market.
Market Expectations
On the 4-hours chart, the market has repeatedly received support from 159.680. The next level has been violated as the price re-approaches the new camp level of 164.000. Like on the daily chart, the RSI is approaching overbought while the EFI power line has recovered from a negative value to a positive one. GBPJPY could either break through the 164.000 resistance and move higher, or it could begin consolidating below it.
