GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Trapped between key SMAs, bulls eye 214.00
The GBP/JPY trims some of its earlier losses, turns nearly flat during the day at around 213.60, and is modestly down 0.09% amid a mixed market mood, an indication of cautious trading amid the ongoing environment.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
Price action shows the GBP/JPY is consolidating following last week’s losses of over 0.21%, capped on the downside by the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 212.62, and on the top by the 50-day SMA at 213.87.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that, in the near term, sellers are in charge. But the market structure of successive higher highs and higher lows suggests further upside for GBP/JPY.
If GBP/JPY reclaims 214.00, the next resistance would be the June 15 high at 215.62. Above this area, the next stop would be the year-to-date (YTD) high of 216.61.
Downwards, the first support for GBP/JPY would be 213.00. Below the figure, the next stop would be the 100-day SMA at 212.62, followed by the 212.00 mark.

The S&P 500 has experienced intraday fluctuations of less than 1% for 27 consecutive trading days, marking the longest period of low volatility since the pandemic. Goldman Sachs warns that this "calm" is the result of zero-day options strategies forcibly locking in the market, and once a catalyst emerges, the compressed volatility energy will be released all at once. Meanwhile, expectations for a rate hike in September are rising, market sentiment has dropped to its lowest point of the year, and fiscal sustainability risks loom large—is this pot of heating water going to boil for much longer?
