Bullish Signals and Trading Strategy
With GBP/JPY breaking above the 203.00 level, we see this as a strong bullish signal. The previous resistance around the 20-day moving average at 202.37 now serves as a critical support floor for any minor pullbacks. The immediate upside targets are the October 27th high of 204.24 and the year-to-date peak near 205.32.
Given this momentum, we should consider buying call options to capitalize on further gains in the coming weeks. A trader could look at December or January expiry contracts with strike prices at 204.50 or even 205.00. This strategy allows for participation in the upside while defining risk to the premium paid for the options.
To hedge against a reversal, we must watch the 202.00 level closely. A break below this would signal that the bullish momentum has faded, making put options a viable protective play. We could use strikes like 201.50 to guard against a deeper move toward the 50-day moving average.
