GBP/JPY Price Analysis: Tests 199.00 after breaking above nine-day EMA

update 2025.07.23 14:43

  • GBP/JPY may find primary barrier at 199.97, the highest since July 2024.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index holds above the 50 level, indicating sustained bullish momentum.
  • The immediate support appears at the nine-day EMA of 198.76.

GBP/JPY has retraced its recent losses, trading around 198.80 during the Asian hours on Wednesday. A look at the daily chart suggested the currency cross is moving upwards within an ascending channel pattern, suggesting a persistent bullish bias.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), a key momentum gauge, remains above the 50 mark, signaling continued bullish pressure. Additionally, the GBP/JPY cross is attempting to stay above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting a bullish bias is active.

On the upside, the GBP/JPY cross may approach 199.97, the highest since July 2024, which was reached on July 18, 2025. A break above this level could reinforce the bullish bias and support the currency cross to explore the region around the ascending channel's upper boundary at 201.10.

The GBP/JPY cross could test immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 198.76. A break below this level could weaken the short-term price momentum and put downward pressure on the currency pair to navigate the area around the lower boundary of the ascending channel at the psychological level of 197.00, followed by the 50-day EMA at 196.59.
