GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
After diving below February 29 low of 189.04, the GBP/JPY has tilted to the downside, but sellers need to achieve a daily close below that level, so they test the Kijun-Sen at 188.73. Further losses are seen at 188.00, followed by the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 187.47.
On the other hand, if buyers move in and the pair prints a close above 189.00, that could sponsor a leg up. The first resistance would be the Tenkan-Sen at 189.71, followed by the March 7 high at 190.14. the next ceiling level would be the March 4 high at 191.18.
