(23:15) GMT

Pound-Yen trades at 160.64 after gaining 155 pips (0.98%).

Uptick comes while some more positive signs for Pound-Yen are out as highly important Retail Sales data from United Kingdom beat analyst expectations of 0.5% with a reading of -1%.

Bollinger Band® analysis indicates that current price action is approaching the upper band at 162, thereby suggesting that GBP/JPY is becoming overvalued. Pound-Yen could be slowing down soon; it is getting close to the resistance line and is now at 160.73, only 8 pips away. Crossing the resistance line could, however, suggest that further gains are ahead. On the other hand, note that having stamped out a session range of 158.97 to 161.29, Fibonacci-inclined Pound-Yen traders were highly concentrated around active Fibonacci resistance at 159.29.

Despite basking in an uptrend and bullish intraday sentiment, chart analysis indicates Pound-Yen is set for a reversal in the coming days.
