The price of gbp/jpy broke the support zone

Short
FX:GBPJPY   British Pound / Japanese Yen
The price of gbp/jpy broke the support zone. The one identified by the EMAs 20 and 200 periods and by 50% of the Fibonacci retracement, on a daily time frame. Violating the whole area between 145.60 and 145.00 and confirming the closing below it, the price will continue this downtrend. The next target that coincides with the first key static support is at around 142.80. Once up to this point, the sales on this exchange should continue up to the final target of up to 61.8% of the Fibonacci retracement set at 140.45.

This technical scenario is supported by the fundamental one. With the "Brexit" situation still in development and far from a definitive conclusion, the pound is devaluing in the short term. This trend will continue at least until the end of the summer. This deadline granted from the EU to London to make a decision.

On the other hand, although the Bank of Japan has declared that it is ready to implement an even more expansive monetary policy by stimulating the Japanese economy with further injections of money, it now seems intent on maintaining the line declared during the last meeting.

Meanwhile, rumors are circulating on the markets. Japan has signed an agreement with China for the mutual purchase of ETFs. As part of an agreement called the "ETF Connectivity Agreement", Tokyo and Beijing would have agreed on the need to allow the fund managers of both countries to invest in the ETF market of their respective counterparts. This would be giving the yen some stability. It should continue to gain value against other majors in the short term. So, to conclude, we recommend a short entry with a target area in the 140.45 area; intermediate target i 142.7.
