In this article, we are drawing Pitchfork channels on GBPJPY
On the weekly GBPJPY chart, we can see that the pair has been rejected and broken below the 160 level which represents the middle of the first channel half. With this rejection and break the pair is now open to a test of the lower channel line 135.600 level in the coming weeks and months. This is clearly a downtrend now and we have a new leg lower opened up. The medium to long-term view is bearish and that could be invalidated only on a break above the 146 level.
