GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: weakness below a confluence support lacks follow-through

   •  The cross weakened below a confluence region, comprising of 100-period SMA and a short-term ascending trend-line support on the 1-hourly chart.
   •  The downfall, however, lacked any strong follow-through amid fading safe-haven demand, which kept JPY bulls on the back-foot.
   •  Hence, only a follow-through weakness below the 147.00 handle would confirm the bearish break and turn the cross vulnerable to extend the downfall.
