The GBP/JPY hovers around 213.50 on Wednesday, finishing the session barely unchanged, up a mediocre 0.04% as the Yen weakened against most G10 FX currencies. Sellers' failure to drive the cross-pair below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 213.16 opened the door for a recovery, with buyers eyeing the 214.00 mark.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Following the April 30 intervention, the GBP/JPY bottomed around 210.00-212.00, with buyers pushing the spot price past the 50-day SMA but capped on the upside by the psychological 213.50 level.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows that neither buyers nor sellers are in control, with the indicator flat around the 50 neutral level.
Above, the first resistance for GBP/JPY is at 214.00. A breach of the latter exposes the May 11 daily high of 214.43, followed by the 215.00 psychological level. Once cleared, overhead lies the year-to-date (YTD) high at 216.60.
For a bearish resumption, GBP/JPY must drop below the 50-day SMA and also clear the 213.00 mark. Below, the next area of interest is the 100-day SMA at 212.19, before the pair extended its losses towards the May 6 swing low at 210.76.
