GBP/JPY daily Chart
The hourly chart presents a contrasting perspective with the RSI logging higher values, lying deep in overbought terrain. This tends to predict a downward correction as the upward momentum may be overextended. In addition, the green rising bars of the MACD histogram also demonstrate positive momentum, reinforcing the strong presence of buyers in the market.
GBP/JPY hourly Chart
In terms of the overall trend, the GBP/JPY is positioned above its 20-day, src00-day, and 200-day SMAs. This pattern signals an enduring bullish trend in both short-term and long-term periods. In summary, while both the daily and hourly charts appear mostly bullish, the indicators reveal a stronger upward momentum in the hourly market with the possibility of a downward correction in the short term. However, as the pair holds above the main SMAs, the downward movements could be considered a mere correction.
