GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Bearish breakdown to sub-141.00 level looks imminent
• The cross remained under some selling pressure for the fifth consecutive session and has now dropped back closer to near 4-month lows set last week.
• Barring a knee-jerk spike earlier this week, the recent downfall over the past four sessions has been along a descending channel on the 1-hourly chart.
• Technical indicators have been gaining negative momentum and are still far from being in the oversold zone, supporting prospects for more downside.
• Moreover, the fact that the cross remains well below important intraday moving averages - 50, 100 & 200-hour SMA, add credence to the bearish outlook.
• A convincing breakthrough the trend-channel support now seems to pave the way for an extension of the downward trajectory towards sub-141.00 level.
