- GBP/JPY holds above 215.00 but struggles to extend recent gains.
- RSI trends lower, signaling weakening bullish momentum at highs.
- Break below 215.00 exposes 214.41 and 214.00 support levels.
GBP/JPY trades sideways, clinging to three days of consecutive gains, as market mood remains neutral, though slightly tilted toward optimism, amid high tensions in the Middle East. Consequently, the British Pound —a risk-sensitive currency—appreciated modestly, with the cross-pair remaining above the 215.00 figure for the second straight day.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
From a technical standpoint, the uptrend seems overextended, with GBP/JPY poised to stall unless a clear catalyst pushes the cross past the yearly peak of 215.91, ahead of the 220.00 figure.
Momentum, as measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), is aiming lower, an indication that buyers are losing traction.
If GBP/JPY clears 220.00, the next resistance would be the December 2007 swing high at 230.37. A breach of the latter will expose the October 2007 peak at around 241.39.
On the flip side, if GBP/JPY drops below 215.00, the next demand zone will be the April 21 daily low at 214.41. On further weakness, the next support would be the April 17 daily low of 214.00, ahead of the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 313.25.
