GBPJPY shooting star and gravestone doji pattern candles have been popping up quite often at the peaks of rallies (at 151.214, 151.502 and 151.835 levels on daily plotting).

The above-stated candle patterns are bearish in nature that hamper the previous bullish momentum in the intermediate trend if the sustenance is observed likely to drag price slumps.

The current prices have gone well below 7DMAs. For now, the bulls are attempting to hang around 7DMA levels.
