GBP/JPY Price Forecast: On recovery, aiming for the 203.50 resistance area  

update 2025.10.13 17:15

  • The Pound reached levels past 203.00 after bouncing at 201.85 lows on Friday.
  • Growing political uncertainty in Japan is weighing on the Yen on Monday.
  • GBP/JPY needs to break the 203.50 resistance to confirm a trade shift.

Pound's reversal against the Yen found support near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, right below the 202.00 line, and is trading higher again on Monday. The pair has regained the 203.00 level and is approaching the 203.50 area, where it might find significant resistance.

The Japanese Yen is under pressure on Monday after the Komeito Party announced it will leave the governing coalition due to divergences with the new LDP leader, Sanae Takaichi, deepening the country's political uncertainty.

Technical analysis: GBP/JPY needs to break 203.50 to confirm a trend shift

GBP/JPY

The technical picture shows easing bearish pressure. The 4-Hour RSD has popped up above the key 50 level, and the MACD in the same timeframe is turning higher.

Bulls, however, will need to breach the resistance area around 203.50, where the trendline resistance from last week's highs meets the October 10 high, to confirm the trend shift. Further up, the intraday resistance, at 204.55, and the October 8 high, at 205.20, will come into focus.

On the downside, immediate support is at Friday's low of 201.85. Below there, bears would be enticed to the 50% Fibonacci retracement, at 201.35, and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, which meets October 5 lows at the 200.30 area.
