GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The overall trend is up, yet after the cross breached the 50-day SMA at 210.87, it shifted to neutral-bullish with the first support level emerging at a support trendline around the 207.00-207.20 area.
Momentum shifted bearish as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Hence further downside is seen in the short term.
If GBP/JPY tumbles below 207.00, the next support would be the 100-day SMA at 206.85 ahead of the December 16 swing low 0f 206.77. On further weakness, the next demand area would be the December 1 low at 205.20.
Conversely, if GBP/JPY rises past 208.50, the 209.00 mark emerges as the first resistance. Overhead lies the February 12 daily high at 209.55, ahead of the 210.00 milestone.
