GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Spikes to over 1-month tops ahead of UK jobs data

   •  The cross built on previous session's strong up-move, led by the EU Chief Brexit Negotiator Michel Barnier's optimistic Brexit comments, and spiked to over one-month tops in the last hour.

   •  A sustained move beyond the key 145.00 psychological mark was seen as a key trigger for the bulls, especially after an overnight bullish break through a short-term descending trend-line resistance.

   •  A follow-through up-move beyond 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the 149.31-139.90 downfall further reinforces a near-term bullish breakout and increase prospects for additional gains. 

   •  However, technical indicators on hourly charts have started moving into overbought territory and might turn out to be the only factor keeping a lid on any further up-move ahead of the UK monthly jobs data.
