GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Retreats from nine-year peak below 191.00
- GBP/JPY retreats to 190.69, down 0.61%, missing the 194.00 psychological level.
- Uptrend signaled, with 190.75 support possibly curbing losses.
- Overcoming 191.00 resistance key to approach near 193.00 highs.
The GBP/JPY retreats deeper below the 190.00 figure after hitting a 9-year high of 193.55, as buyers fail to push through the latter and aim toward the 194.00 mark. At the time of writing, the pair traded at 190.69, down 0.61%.
GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
Despite falling, the GBP/JPY remains upward biased despite posting losses. The confluence of the Tenkan and Kijun-Sen at 190.75 capped the pair’s slide, but downside risks remain. If sellers push the exchange rate below the latter, the pair could aim for 190.00. Further losses are seen below that level, as the 189.00 psychological figure would be up next.
However, the path of least resistance is upwards, and if they reclaim the 191.00 figure, look for further gains. The next resistance would be today’s high at 192.23, followed by the 193.00 mark.
