GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: Bulls take breather near 145.00 handle, dip-buying to limit any meaningful slide
• The cross built on the overnight strong upsurge and climbed to 2-1/2 month tops on Wednesday, albeit struggled to extend the momentum beyond the key 145.00 psychological mark.
• Overbought conditions on hourly charts turned out to be the only factor keeping a lid on any strong follow-through up-move, rather seemed to prompt some profit-taking at higher levels.
• However, given the overnight bullish breakthrough over three-week-old descending trend-channel, dips are likely to be used as a buying opportunity and should help to limit any meaningful slide.
