GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The technical picture shows that the GBP/JPY uptrend is poised to continue, despite the ongoing pullback. It should be said that the pair dipped as a ‘bearish harami’ two candle pattern emerged near yearly highs, followed by a subsequent bearish candle that pushed the cross to new three-day lows of 212.00.
Momentum favors sellers as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) retreated from overbought territory, triggering a sell signal.
If GBP/JPY extends its losses decisively below 212.00, then it could challenge the 20-day SMA at 211.42. Once surpassed, traders will eye 210.00.
Conversely, if the cross-pair rises past the January 15 high of 213.31, the next key resistance would be the yearly peak at 214.29.
