GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
According to the daily chart, the GBP/JPY remains upward biased and is backed by momentum as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, though trendless. This hints that the cross might remain at around current exchange rates amid the lack of catalysts and fears of Japanese authority's intervention.
On the upside, the GBP/JPY first resistance would be the year-to-date (YTD) high at 201.61, ahead of the 202.00 mark.
On further weakness, the cross could tumble below 201.00 and test the Tenkan-Sen at 200.26, the first support level, followed by the Senkou Span A at 199.71. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the Kijun-Sen at 199.15.
