GBP/JPY – Technical Analysis- H4 chart

The chart shows that the price found its horizontal support around 184.500 and made a bullish move. On its way, it made a breakout at the simple moving average 30. As of writing, the pair has been on consolidation around the SMA 30’s support. Thus, the buyers may keep their eyes on the price action and wait for a bullish reversal pattern to go long in the pair. Moreover, a flipped level of support at 186.400 still holds the price as a support. Thus, the buyers may consider it as a confluence level. If it gets bullish from here, the price may find its resistance around 188.000.

On the downside, if the price breaches the SMA 30’s support, the sellers may look to go short upon having breakout confirmation. In that case, the level of 185.200 may work as the next support.
