GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Uptrend holds, eyes on 216.00, BoJ risks loom

BÀI VIẾT PHỔ BIẾN

The Pound Sterling advances versus the Japanese Yen on Tuesday, up by 0.24%, driven by traders’ optimism about a US-Iran deal, even though there are rumours that Iran has halted negotiations amid the Israel-Hezbollah conflict over the weekend.

GBP/JPY holds uptrend as buyers defend 215.00 support zone.
Break above 216.00 exposes YTD high at 216.60.
Drop below 215.00 targets 214.68 and key SMA confluence.

GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

From a technical standpoint, the GBP/JPY uptrend remains intact, but as the USD/JPY pair closes into the 160.00 area, the possibility of an intervention by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) increases.

If not for the BoJ, the GBP/JPY could resume its advance and test the 216.00 figure, followed by the yearly peak at 216.60 hit on April 30. A breach of the latter, and there’s nothing in the way for buyers to drive the cross-pair towards the 220.00 mark.

On the flip side, the first support for GBP/JPY is at 215.00. Once hurdled, the next stop would be the May 25 daily high turned support at 214.68, ahead of the confluence of the 20- and 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), each at 213.76/68, respectively.
