GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The GBP/JPY uptrend remains intact after buyers achieved fourteen positive trading sessions, opening the door to new yearly highs. Despite that, momentum seems to be fading as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) exited from overbought conditions, opening the door for a mean reversion move. Therefore, the cross registered back-to-back negative sessions, dragging the exchange rate below 200.00.
If GBP/JPY drops below the Kijun-Sen of 199.03, that would sponsor a dip to the Senkou Span A at 197.54. Further losses lie below 197.00, kike the Tenkan-Sen at 196.05.
On the other hand, if buyers reclaim 200.00, look for renewed buying that can push the exchange rate to challenge the YTD high of 200.74.
