GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The GBP/JPY is upward biased after recovering from the Bank of Japan intervention during the last week. Since then, the pair bottomed out at around the 50-day moving average (DMA) at around 193.50 and recovered some ground.
Even though the uptrend remains intact, the GBP/JPY faces key resistance at the Kijun-Sen at 195.26. A breach of the latter will expose the 196.00 psychological level, followed by the April 26 high at 197.92.
On the other hand, if the cross-pair falls below the Senkou Span A of 194.82, that could open the door to challenge the Senkou Span B at 194.24. Further losses are seen at 194.00.
