The Pound (GBP) is trading higher against a weak Japanese Yen (JPY), extending its rally for the fourth consecutive day, with pullbacks finding support in the lower 212.00s and March highs in the 213.30 area still on the bulls’ radar.
The GBP has shown greater resilience than the Yen to the war in Iran. Investors’ concerns about the economic consequences of the Oil shock in major crude importers, such as Japan, have been a significant headwind to any JPY rally since the war began.
The strong Japanese Labour Cash Earnings data witnessed earlier this week boosted speculation of a near-term interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ). This posibility was endorsed by former board member Seiji Adachi on Tuesday, and the Yen bounced up from lows on Wednesday, but the rally was short-lived.
Technical Analysis
GBP/JPY maintains its near-term bullish bias intact. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stays in positive territory after pulling back from overbought levels, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram remains slightly positive, suggesting that upside momentum is present but not yet exhausted.
Bulls were halted on Wednesday at 213.15, a few pips below the March top of 213.31. Further up, the next target would be the early February high, in the 214.00 area.
Support is at Wednesday's low, near 212.20, ahead of the April 1 high, at 211.44, and the April 2 and 5 lows around 210.50.
