The Pound (GBP) maintains its near.-term nullish bias against the Japanese Yen (JPY) intact, although bulls have been halted at the 212.80 area earlier on the day.
- GBP/JPY extended gains on risk appetite before being capped at 212.80.
- News of a ceasefire in Iran boosted support for the Pound on Wednesday.
- Failure to break 212.80 might trigger a corrective reversal.
The Pound (GBP) maintains its near.-term nullish bias against the Japanese Yen (JPY) intact, although bulls have been halted at the 212.80 area earlier on the day. Downside attempts, however, remain contained above 212.15 so far.
The risk-on sentiment triggered by the ceasefire in Iran provided additional support to the GBP during Wednesday’s Asian session, but the rejection at the mentioned 212.80 suggests the possibility of a bearish correction after a 0.8% rally over the last three days.
GBP/JPY has reached the target of a Gartley pattern and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the late-march sell-off. The near-term bias remains mildly bullish, but failure to extend gains beyond 212.80 might lure bears into a deeper correction.
Technical indicators in 4-hour charts remain positive, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above the 50 midline, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) above the signal line. Hourly charts, however, show a potential double top and bearish divergence on the RSI, which should act as a warning for buyers.
On the upside, above 212.80, the target is the key 213.35 resistance area (March 11, 23, and 26 highs). Initial support is at the intraday low of 212.15, ahead of the previous resistance area at 211.50 (April 1 high) and the April 2 low at 210.35.
