japanese yen currency pictures - Stalls below 211.50 on haven demand
GBP/JPY consolidates above the 211.00 figure yet remains unable to crack key resistance at the 211.50 psychological level due to an improvement in risk appetite, along with the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 211.26 acting as a magnet. Fears that Japanese authorities might intervene in the FX market.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
The technical picture shows the GBP/JPY is set to remain sideways unless bulls surpass the 211.50 psychological figure, seen as key resistance before clearing the path to test higher prices. The pair has subsequently tested the previously mentioned level, and a breach of it would pave the way for a challenge of the 20-day SMA at 211.90, ahead of 212.00. On further strength, buyers would target the March 26 high at 213.31, ahead of 214.00.
Conversely, if the pair slips below the 50-day SMA, a test of 211.00 is on the cards. On further weakness, the next support level would be a key trendline at around 210.50-65. A decisive break will expose the 100-day SMA at 210.31.
Momentum-wise, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reveals that sellers are in charge, but the last two bullish days pushed the RSI near its neutral level.
