The Pound (GBP) is trading lower against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on Thursday, snapping a four-day positive streak. The pair has retreated to levels below 213.00 after failing to extend gains beyond the March top in the 213.30 area, with the risk-off sentiment strengthening the case for some correction.
News from the US-Iran war remains confusing as the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, denied any direct talks with the US, while US President Donald Trump reiterates that Iranian leaders are begging to negotiate a peace deal. Meanwhile, Iran and Israel have kept exchanging attacks on Thursday. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed for the fourth consecutive week, boosting Crude Oil to levels of $99 per barrel
Technical Analysis
In the 4-hour chart, GBP/JPY trades at 212.83. The near-term bias remains bullish as the pair holds above the rising support trend line from 210.59, but failure to breach the resistance area around 213.30 and softening technical indicators are strengthening the case for a bearish correction.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has pulled back to 53, from levels around 60 on previous sessions, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has slipped to marginally negative levels. Furthermore, the MACD line has crossed below the signal line, which suggests that bears are taking control.
Price action is now testing support at the bullish trendline from March 19 lows, now at 212,70. Further down, the March 24 low, at 212.26, will come to the focus ahead of the March 23 low, in the 211.60 area. Bulls, on the other hand, would have to breach the key resistance area at 213.30, aiming for the early February highs, at the 213.75 area and 214.05.
