GBP/JPY Price Forecast: British Pound faces a cluster of resistance near 213
- GBP/JPY struggles to extend its gains as buyers face a cluster of resistance.
- The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and the 100-day and 200-day SMAs form a resistance zone between 212.90 and 213.03.
- RSI and MACD point to mildly bullish momentum, while ADX near 17 signals a weak trend.
GBP/JPY trades with a modest bullish bias on Tuesday but struggles to build on the previous day’s 0.32% gain. At the time of writing, the cross trades around 212.44, up 0.09% on the day, with the 100-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) near 213.00 capping the immediate upside.
Technical Analysis
On the daily chart, the pair also sits just under the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 212.90, underscoring a dense band of overhead supply despite a constructive tone in momentum, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering near 58 and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line staying in positive territory, even as the Average Directional Index (ADX) near 17 hints at a weakening trend.
A break above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 212.90, the 200-day SMA at 212.93 and the 100-day SMA at 213.03 would open the door to the 78.6% retracement at 214.54, followed by the recent high near 216.62.
On the downside, initial support sits at the 50% Fibonacci retracement near 211.76. A break below that level would bring the 38.2% retracement at 210.61 into focus, followed by the 23.6% level at 209.19 and the swing low near 206.90.
