The British Pound registers gains against the Japanese Yen on Tuesday, rising by over 0.12% to 217.04, with the cross-pair poised to test the year-to-date (YTD) high of 218.01.

GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The trend is up, as depicted by price action, as GBP/JPY surpassed the April 30 daily high of 216.60, opening the door to consolidation within the 217.00-218.00 range. Although the technicals suggest that further upside is seen, speculation that Japanese authorities might intervene in the FX markets keeps buyers cautious from opening fresh long bets, which could drive the pair higher.

Momentum as measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows that buyers are in charge, meaning that further upside is expected.

If GBP/JPY clears 218.00, this paves the way to challenge the 218.50 mark, ahead of 219.00. Once those levels are taken out, the next resistance is 220.00, followed by the January 2008 monthly high of 222.76.

On the other hand, the first support for GBP/JPY is at 217.00. Below this area, the next area of demand would be the April 30 high of the day (HOD) at 216.60. Once cleared, the next stop would be the 216.00 mark, followed by the 215.00 psychological level.
