GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/JPY formed a ‘bullish harami’ chart pattern on Friday, also known in the West as an ‘inside day’, which opened the door for further upside, once the pair cleared the July 2 high of the day (HOD) at 216.08, which exacerbated the leg-up past the 217.00 milestone.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains bullish, as the index aims upwards, closing to overbought territory at the 70 level. This can pave the way for some consolidation before the uptrend continues.
The path of least resistance for the GBP/JPY is upwards. The first resistance is the 217.50 area. Above this level, the next stop would be the 218.00 figure, followed by the 220.00 psychological level.
Conversely, for a bearish reversal, the GBP/JPY must drop below the 215.00 psychological level, followed by the July 3 low of the day (LOD) at 214.72. On further weakness, the next area of interest would be the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 214.09, followed by the 100-day SMA at 213.17.
