A bullish setup has emerged on GBP/JPY, with recent price action suggesting bullish momentum is building. With GBP strengthening against USD, GBP/JPY may present a higher-probability bullish scenario compared to USD/JPY in the near term (though this also looks bullish to my eyes over the near term).
GBP/JPY held above key moving averages midweek. GBP/JPY failed to close below its 200-day SMA on both Wednesday and Thursday, while yesterday’s session also respected support at the 50-day EMA and the 192.00 handle.
Momentum indicators support the bullish case, with the daily RSI trading above 50 after rebounding from its most oversold level in six weeks.
As long as prices hold above Thursday’s low, bulls may look for a retest of the cycle highs near 196.00.
