GBP/JPY Price Forecast: 217.00 caps bulls as RSI fades

FXStreetFXStreet2026/08/31 22:30

GBP/JPY trades flattish for the third straight day as buyers have failed to decisively crack the 217.00 level, which could open the door to further upside. This pushed the cross-pair to the mid-point of the trading range of 216.08-216.85,

GBP/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The daily chart shows that GBP/JPY is neutral-biased, even though prices are above the 50-, 100-, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), each at 215.96, 215.09, and 212.95, respectively.

Momentum is measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which also suggests that the GBP/JPY is bullish, but it has faded as the index approaches the 50-neutral level. Hence, the cross-pair is poised for sideways action.

For a bullish continuation, the first resistance is 217.00. A breach of the latter will expose the July 9 high at 218.01, followed by the yearly high of 219.61.

On the other hand, a breach of the 50-day SMA at 215.96 opens the path to challenge the 100-day SMA ahead of 215.00. Below the next support is the 214.00 psychological level.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has raised its forecast for average Brent crude oil prices in 2026 and 2027 to $97 and $86, respectively, reflecting pressures from global inventory declines, Middle East supply disruptions, and rising transportation costs. As oil production in the Middle East gradually recovers and global inventories rebound from low levels, the EIA expects the average spot price of Brent crude to fall to $87 per barrel in the second quarter of 2027, and further decline to $77 per barrel by the fourth quarter.
