- GBP/JPY slips on Wednesday as fresh intervention warnings from Tokyo support the Japanese Yen.

GBP/JPY edges lower on Wednesday as fresh intervention warnings from Tokyo lift the Japanese Yen (JPY) across the board. At the time of writing, the cross trades around 214.82, down 0.25% on the day.
Japanese authorities are once again on alert as USD/JPY moves back toward the 160.00 mark, a level that previously prompted officials to intervene earlier in April.
Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said on Wednesday that authorities are ready “to take appropriate steps on FX as needed at any time.” Takaichi also said Japan would deepen international cooperation, including with the United States, on foreign exchange moves.
However, the bigger picture still favors further upside in GBP/JPY. The gap between UK and Japanese interest rates remains wide, while renewed hawkish central bank expectations, driven by Oil-related inflation concerns, could further widen the policy gap between the Bank of England (BoE) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ).
Technical indicators also continue to support the bullish outlook, with the cross maintaining a pattern of higher highs and higher lows while holding well above its key long-term moving averages.
Technical Analysis:
On the daily chart, GBP/JPY maintains a constructive bullish bias as it holds above the 100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). The pair is also trading over the nearby horizontal support around 214.00, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near 57 and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) stays in positive territory, together suggesting that upside momentum is still intact but not yet overstretched.
On the topside, initial resistance is seen at the horizontal barrier near 216.50, where a clear break would open the way for a continuation of the broader advance. On the downside, the first layer of support emerges around 214.00, with the 100-day SMA at 212.54 and the 200-day SMA near 208.49 providing deeper structural cushions should a pullback develop.
