GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Rebounds but faces stiff resistance at 211.00

ARTICOLI POPOLARI

The GBP/JPY edges higher by nearly 0.60% on Wednesday as the market mood improved amid speculation of a possible end to Iran’s war. Although the pair found support at the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 210.08, sentiment remains fragile amid geopolitical uncertainty.

GBP/JPY bounces from 100-day SMA as sentiment improves cautiously.
RSI remains below 50, indicating bearish momentum still in control.
Break above 212.00 needed to target 213.31 resistance level.

GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical Outlook

After clearing the bottom of a bearish flag, the GBP/JPY rallied and faces key resistance at the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 211.28, as buyers targeted the 20-day SMA at 212.02. Despite the advance, momentum seems tilted to the downside as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) points lower and remains below its neutral level, suggesting bears are in charge.

For a bullish continuation, the GBP/JPY must clear the 50-day SMA and extend its gains towards the March 30 high at 212.71, above the bearish flag support trendline, which is now turning into resistance. In that outcome, the next area of interest would be the March 26 high at 213.31.

On the other hand, a move lower beneath the March 31 swing low of 209.63 could open the door to challenge the year-to-date (YTD) low of 207.23. On further weakness, the 200-day SMA at 204.95 is up next.
