The GBP/JPY fell by some 0.23% during Monday’s session as the safe-haven appeal of the Japanese Yen weighed on the pair, which continues to digest price action in the aftermath of Japanese authorities' intervention in the FX markets. At the time of writing, the cross-pair trade is at 212.72, near the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 212.79.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The momentum in the cross-pair remains bullish, with buyers stepping in once GBP/JPY tested the 100-day SMA at 211.93 and the 50-day SMA at 212.79. Although price action is capped within the two previously mentioned levels, as long as spot prices remain above the March 31 cycle low of 209.64, buyers could remain hopeful of higher prices.
For a bearish continuation, sellers must clear the 100-day SMA. Once surpassed, the next stop is the March 16 daily low of 210.81, followed by the 209.64 cycle low registered on March 29.
On the flip side, if GBP/JPY clears the 213.00 figure, buyers could re-engage and challenge the April 17 low-turned-resistance at 214.01 ahead of the 215.00 psychological level.
