GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Slides as bearish engulfing pattern signals a pullback looms

- GBP/JPY retreats after hitting 196.39, forming bearish engulfing candle suggesting downside risk.
- Break below 194.22 could open path toward 193.31 Tenkan-sen and 200-day SMA at 192.32.
- Bulls need to reclaim 195.00 to retest resistance at 196.00 and May high of 196.39.
The GBP/JPY retreated on Wednesday, losing over 0.82% after hitting a weekly high of 196.39 earlier during the Asian session. As Thursday's Asian session begins, the GBP/JPY trades at 194.48 flat.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Despite retreating, the uptrend on the GBP/JPY remains intact. However, a pullback is on the cards after forming a 'bearish engulfing' candle chart pattern that could send the pair drifting lower. Still, a break below the May 14 low of 194.22 is required for further confirmation that the pair is extending its losses.
In that outcome, the next support would be the Tenkan.sen at 193.31, ahead of the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 192.32.
Conversely, if GBP/JPY reverses its course and buyers reclaim 195.00, the next resistance would be the 196.00 figure, followed by the May 14 peak of 196.39. Further gains are seen if the latter is cleared, with 197.00 emerging as the next potential ceiling level.
