The Pound (GBP) is trading higher against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on Monday, favoured by a moderate optimism amid news of a peace plan to end the war in Iran. The pair, however, remains capped below the 211.45 resistance area so far, although technical indicators are popping up into bullish territory.
News that Iran and the US have received the framework of a plan for a 45-day ceasefire that might end the hostilities immediately and reopen the Strait of Hormuz has been welcomed by the market. Investors have responded by selling safe-haven assets like the US Dollar for the benefit of riskier-perceived assets like the Pound.
Traders, however, are wary of placing significant Yen shorts, as the USD/JPY remains relatively close to the 160.00 level, a level which, according to market speculation, might unleash an intervention by Tokyo authorities.
GBP/JPY shows a mildly bullish trend, after bouncing at 209.64 lows in late March, with the highest lows posted last week. A bullish engulfing candle in the daily chart might strengthen the case of a deeper correction if the pair closes the day beyond 211.45.
Technical indicators in the 4-hour chart show an improved momentum, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stabilizing just above the 50 mark and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line remaining in positive territory.
Price action suggests that we might be in the C-D leg of a Gartley pattern, targeting beyond the mentioned 211.45 resistance area to the area between the March 24 and 27 lows, at 212.30, and the 78.2% Fibonacci retracement of the late-March sell-off, at 212.55.
To the downside, immediate support is the April 2 low, at 212.35, ahead of the mentioned March 31 low, at 209.64.
