GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Holds steady above 193.00 as the pair bottoms

Source Fxstreet
  • GBP/JPY bounces off 192.00 zone, reclaiming 193.00 amid improving risk sentiment.
  • Buyers must clear 193.58 and 194.00 to unlock further upside toward 195.00.
  • Failure to hold above 192.00 risks deeper pullback to 191.00 support zone.

The GBP/JPY registers modest gains as Friday’s Asian session begins, carrying on an upbeat mood as the pair gained over 0.23% on Thursday, bottoming at around the 192.00 area. At the time of writing, the cross-pair trades at 193.14 virtually unchanged.

GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

From a daily chart perspective, the GBP/JPY remains trading sideways, though slightly tilted to the upside. On Friday, the pair cleared a confluence support zone composed of the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 192.48 and the 20-day SMA at 192.74, but sellers failed to achieve a daily close below those levels, and buyers entered the market.

So far, the GBP/JPY has reclaimed the 193.00 figure. If buyers want to extend their gains, they must clear the May 22 high of 193.58 ahead of 194.00. Once done, traders could set their eyes on the Tenkan-sen at 194.33, followed by the 195.00 mark.

Conversely, if GBP/JPY falls below 192.00, key support levels will be exposed, as bulls’ lack of momentum will lower prices. The next support would be the 50—and 100-day SMA confluence at 191.71, followed by the 191.00 figure.
