  •   GBP/JPY picks up bids to refresh intraday high, snaps two-day downtrend.

  •   Bearish MACD signals, downbeat RSI keep sellers hopeful to retest 200-DMA.

  •   One-month-old falling trend line adds to the downside filters.

  The cross-currency pairs latest rebound from the lowest levels since March, marked the previous day, lacks support from the RSI, as well as the MACD.

  As a result, the 100-DMA level, surrounding 158.00, probes the GBP/JPY buyers, making it difficult to reverse the monthly bearish trend.

  Even if the quote rises past 158.00, a downward sloping trend line from April 20, near 160.80 by the press time, appears a tough nut to crack for the bulls, which in turn will trigger the run-up targeting the 164.00 level.

  Meanwhile, pullback moves may retest the 157.00 threshold but will be challenged by the 200-DMA, around 155.20 at the latest.

  Following that, the yearly lows surrounding 151.00 and the 150.00 psychological magnet will lure the GBP/JPY bears.
