GBP/JPY climbs past 200.00, BoE and BoJ monetary policy meetings in focus
The post GBP/JPY climbs past 200.00, BoE and BoJ monetary policy meetings in focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. GBP/JPY extends gains for the fourth consecutive day, breaking firmly above the 200.00 psychological level. Technicals remain constructive with RSI at 62.7 and a fresh MACD bullish crossover. Traders eye key risk events this week, including UK jobs and CPI data ahead of the BoE decision on Thursday, and Japan’s CPI release before the BoJ meeting on Friday. The British Pound (GBP) is extending its winning streak against the Japanese Yen (JPY) for the fourth consecutive day on Monday, with the cross trading near its strongest level in more than a year.

The British Pound is strong across the board at the start of the week, while the Yen remains on the defensive as traders position ahead of the Bank of England’s (BoE) monetary policy decision on Thursday and the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) policy announcement on Friday. From a technical perspective, the cross continues to trade with a clear bullish bias, comfortably holding above both the 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 199.23 and the 50-day SMA at 198.80. The sustained break and consolidation above the 200.00 psychological level reinforces the positive momentum, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 62.7 pointing to strong upside pressure without reaching overbought territory. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is also reinforcing the bullish structure, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line and the histogram printing green bars. This crossover is a fresh bullish signal, suggesting that upside momentum is regaining strength after a period of consolidation. On the upside, immediate resistance is located at the July 24, 2024 peak around 201.18, which if cleared would open the door toward the July 23, 2024 high…
