The GBP/JPY reverses course on Tuesday, loses 0.24% as the Japanese Yen recovered some ground against most G8 FX currencies, except for the US Dollar. At the time of writing, the cross-pair trades at 216.51 after reaching a multi-year high of 217.22.

GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The bullish bias remains intact as the GBP/JPY printed a year-to-date (YTD) high at 217.22, which could open the door for further upside. However, it was a false breakout, as the cross pair tumbled below the previous YTD peak at 216.46, opening the door for a test of 216.00. Fears of a possible Bank of Japan (BoJ) intervention in the foreign exchange markets could prompt traders to book profits.

For a bullish continuation, buyers must clear the 217.00 figure, followed by the high of the day (HOD) fof 217.22 ‒ also the high of the year, which clears the way to challenge 218.00. On further strength, the next area of interest would be the 220.00 milestone.

On further weakness, the GBP/JPY first support would be the July 6 low at 215.33, followed by 215.00. Below this level, the next support would be the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 214.11, followed by the 100-day SMA at 213.26.
