The Pound keeps drawing support from the broad-based Yen weakness this week and remains steady near multi-year highs, at the 208.90 area, with downside attempts contained above 208.20 so far
The Japanese Yen has been dropping against its main peers this week, weighed by a combination of gloomy economic growth figures and concerns amid Prime Minister Talkaichi's cabinet’s plans to launch a USD 137 billion stimulus program that will add pressure to an already strained fiscal stability.
Technical analysis: GBP/JPY bulls eye 209.00 and the 210.00 area
The technical picture shows the pair consolidating gains after rallying about 1.7% over the past two weeks. The 4-hour chart shows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) pulling back from overbought levels with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) printing green bars, highlighting the positive momentum.
Immediate support is at the intraday low of 208.24, ahead of a previous resistance area, at 207.35 (the November 26, 27, and December 3, 5 highs), which is likely to act as support now. Further down, the trendline support, around 206.30, and the December 5 low, at 206.20, emerge as the following targets.
On the upside, Tuesday’s high at 208.95 is close to the 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the November 20-26 rally, at 209.15. A confirmation above these levels would expose the 210.00 psychological level. The triangle’s measured target is at 210.30.
