GBP.JPY - Long & Short Breakout Opportunity

FX:GBPJPY   British Pound / Japanese Yen
The GBP.JPY is one pair on my watchlist into Monday / Tuesday.

There is a potential long opportunity on the breakout of a pennant formation looking to retest the 144.500 level.
Alternatively we can look short on the breakout looking for a retest of the 138.000 level.

Price respecting the Daily EMA, 141.00 psychological level and the Daily pennant formation.

I will be updating this post on the 1hr and 4hr TF if we can an entry.
Comment:
I have had a number of PM's asking why I won't take a position on this pair prior to the weekend.

Firstly, it is unlikely we will see a break in either direction before next week.
If however we do see a break and close in either direction, we will see a lot of indecision prior to market close as many traders will be closing out their positions.

The indecision on the run up to the weekend is not something I am interested in trading, I will await market open next week and evaluate the lower TF's from there.
Comment:
We have now seen a break below, we will now await a daily candle close.
As stated above no trade will be taken until Monday / Tuesday.
