Daily Pivots: (S1) 145.95; (P) 146.43; (R1) 147.20; More….
Upside momentum in GBP/JPY is weak with 4 hour MACD staying below signal line. But with 145.13 minor support intact, further rise is expected to 148.09/42 resistance. Decisive break there will extend whole rally from 122.36 to long term fibonacci level at 150.43 next. On the downside, below 145.13 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidation again before staging another rally.
In the bigger picture, rise from medium term bottom at 122.36 is expected to continue to 38.2% retracement of 196.85 to 122.36 at 150.43. Decisive break there will carry long term bullish implications and pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 167.78. In case the sideway pattern from 148.42 extends, we’d be looking for strong support from 135.58 and 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 to contain downside.
