At the moment, GBPJPY’s rate is down -2.3 Pips (-0.01%) from the hour prior. This move is a reversal from the hour prior, which saw price move up. If you’re a Trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 50 hour timeframe. Price action traders may also wish to note that we see some doji and pin bar candlestick patterns on Gbpjpy. Given that we see downtrend on the 20 hourly candle timeframe, and that such candlestick patterns often denote reversals, this may be worth noting. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

GBPJPY Technical Analysis

The first thing we should note is that GBPJPY is now close to its 20 and 50 day averages, located at 162.3222 and 162.5145 respectively, and thus may be at a key juncture along those timeframes. As for the alignment of the moving averages, well, it’s a bit mixed up; the 20, 50, 100, and 200 do not progress from largest to smallest, or vice versa. The closest is the 50 day average, which is 296 pips away. Trend traders will want to observe that the strongest trend appears on the 14 day horizon; over that time period, price has been moving up. Or to simplify this another way, note that out of the past 10 days GBPJPY’s price has gone up 7 them.
