GBP/JPY Price Forecast: 217.00 caps bulls as RSI stalls
- GBP/JPY holds near 217.00 as horizontal price action persists.
- RSI remains bullish, but stalls near the 60 reading.
- Break below 216.00 exposes 215.68 and 215.00 supports.
The GBP/JPY consolidates near familiar levels around 217.00 on Monday, as risk aversion dominates markets, with flows moving into haven assets like the US Dollar and Gold amid uncertainty over the Middle East conflict.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
Price action remains horizontal, while momentum has shifted bullish, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI): After bouncing at the 50-neutral level, the RSI aimed higher but stalled at the 60 reading over the last two days.
For a bullish continuation, the GBP/JPY must clear 217.00. Once surpassed, the next stop would be a downslope resistance trendline at around the 217.20-30 range, followed by the 218.00 mark and the July 30 high at 218.69. Above the next stop would be 219.00.
On the downside, the first support for GBP/JPY would be the 216.00 psychological level. Below the next stop is the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 215.68, followed by 215.00. A decisive push by the bears, opens the door to challenge the 100-day SMA at 214.93.
