GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Of note, the GBP/JPY bounced after testing a key support trendline near 211.33 on Monday, opening the door for a recovery. However, buyers remain reluctant to open fresh bets as key resistance emerged at the confluence of the 100- and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) at 212.92 and 213.02, respectively. If GBP/JPY clears the latter, the next stop is the September 2 high of 216.62, ahead of buyers testing the 217.00 mark,
On the downside, the first support for GBP/JPY is the Monday low of the day (LOD) of 211.33, followed by the psychological 211.00 level. The next stop is the 50-day SMA at 210.00.
From a momentum standpoint, further upside is see as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, and aiming upwards.
