GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/JPY trend is up, even though it fell short of breaking 220.00, which could’ve opened the door for further gains. Momentum, as measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), is bullish, and as of writing, the index is dipping ahead of turning overbought. This triggered a leg down in the GBP/JPY pair, though further upside is seen.
Ahead of Friday’s Asian session, the first key resistance level is 219.00. If GBP/JPY clears that level, the 18-year high of 219.61 is up next, ahead of challenging the 22.00 mark. A decisive breach of the psychological 220.50 will expose the 221.00 level ahead.
On the other hand, if the retreat of GBP/JPY extends past 218.00, a move lower towards the April 30 high, which turned support at 216.60, is likely. If hurdled, the next area of interest would be the 216.00 figure, ahead of the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 214.72.
