Hi Traders! GBPJPY Technical Analysis And Short Term Forecast is here. The way I would like to analyze the chart for setups is based on multi-timeframe confirmations because in my POV if we get more evidences on different timeframes for the same direction then it makes the setup much more reliable. We do our analysis on the MetaTrader4 platform (MT4), some very interesting, useful tips and hacks about the MT4 platform could be found here. If you would like to learn more about the way we trade and the technical analysis we use then check out theTraders Academy Club Spoiler alert – free memberships are available! Now, let’s start our analysis from the highest timeframe which will be the H4 chart here.
GBPJPY H4(4 Hours) Chart Analysis – Bearish Convergence, Stochastic Oscillator
On the H4 chart, we could see that the price which was moving higher has created a bearish divergence between the first high that has formed at 166.311 and the second high that has formed at 167.597 based on the MACD indicator. The price then moved lower and broke below the last low at 164.302 thus forming a classical setup of bearish divergence followed by bearish convergence, we may consider these as evidences of bearish pressure. Generally, after a bearish convergence we may look for corrections and then further continuation lower. Currently, it looks like a correction is happening. In addition to this, based on the Stochastic Oscillator we could see that the price has reached its extreme which we may consider as yet another evidence of bearish pressure. So everything looks good here for the bears and we may now move down to lower timeframe and look for evidences supporting this short term bearish view.
GBPJPY H1(1 Hour) Chart Analysis – Bearish Trend Pattern, Two Strong Resistance Zones
On the H1 chart, the price which is moving lower has created a bearish trend pattern in the form of three lower highs, lower lows which we may consider as evidence of bearish pressure. Generally, after a bearish trend pattern, we may expect corrections and then further continuation lower. Currently it looks like a correction is happening. Also, we had two strong support zones that has formed and the price which was moving lower has broken below these zones and is holding below them, we may consider this as yet another evidence of bearish pressure. Currently, these strong support zones are acting as strong resistance zones for us. Until these two strong resistance zones (marked in red) shown in the image below hold my short term view remains bearish here and I expect the price to move lower further.
