- GBP/JPY drops over 1%, breaking below the key 100-day SMA.

The Pound Sterling collapses versus the Japanese Yen as growing speculation of intervention in the FX markets witnesses the Yen appreciating versus most G8 currencies. The GBP/JPY pair trades with losses of more than 1.10%, currently hovering around 214.08.
GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
The cross-pair dipped below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 215.08, opening the door to further downside and putting the 214.00 milestone in play. Momentum shifted strongly bearish, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Hence, the path of least resistance is tilted to the downside, with sellers regaining control.
The GBP/JPY first support is 214.00. A breach of the latter will expose the 200-day SMA as the next support at 213.02. On further weakness, the August 3 cycle low of 209.58 would be the next area of interest, before sellers test yearly lows near 207.24.
On the other hand, if buyers drive the GBP/JPY exchange rate above the 100-day SMA, this could trigger some consolidation between the 215.08-216.04 area, with the latter being the 50-day SMA.
