GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/JPY has reached 18-year highs, last seen in February 2008, opening the door to challenging the January 2008 monthly peak levels.
Price action shows the market is respecting a series of higher highs and higher lows, an indication of further upside. Momentum favours buyers, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish and about to enter overbought territory, indicating further upside.
The first resistance for GBP/JPY is 218.00. Once cleared, it opens the door to challenge key psychological levels like 219.00, 220.00 and the January 2008 high at 222.76.
Conversely, a potential intervention by Japanese authorities in the foreign exchange markets could open the door for a deeper pullback, with the first support level seen at the July 7 daily low of 216.38. Below this area, the next support is the 216.00 mark. On further weakness, the next area of interest would be a downslope resistance trendline that turns into support around the 214.70-215.00 area.
