- GBP/JPY hovers just above August swing low at 197.86, a key level for bearish continuation toward 197.76, the 100-day SMA.
- Break below 197.70 could trigger deeper slide toward 197.00 and 196.00, before the 200-day SMA at 194.80.
- Buyers need recovery above 198.98 and 199.65 SMAs to regain control and attempt a move back toward 200.00.
The GBP/JPY registered three consecutive bearish days so far in the week and opens Thursday's Asian session near the current weekly low of 197.92. At the time of writing, the cross-pair trades at 198.19, virtually unchanged.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Bears in charge target the 200-day SMA
The GBP/JPY technical picture indicates the pair is testing the last swing low of 197.86, August 20, which if broken it could open the door to challenge the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 197.70, followed by the 200-day SMA at 194.80. Nevertheless, on its way south, the sellers must clear key support levels.
If the 100-day SMA is taken, the GBP/JPY next support would be 197.00, followed by the 196 mark ahead of the 200-day SMA.
Conversely, if buyers stepped in and drive the exchange rate above the 50-day SMA at 198.98, then a move above 199.00 is on the cards. On further strength, the next resistance would be the 20-day SMA at 199.65 ahead of the 200.00 figure.
