No change in GBP/JPY’s outlook. We’d expect strong resistance from 147.04 support turned resistance to complete the corrective rebound from 143.18. On the downside, below 144.52 minor support will bring retest of 143.18 first. Break will resume the decline from 153.84.
In the bigger picture, for now, we’re treating price actions from 156.59 as a corrective move. Therefore, while deeper fall is expected, strong support should be seen above 139.29 cluster support (50% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 139.47) to contain downside and bring rebound. There is still prospect of extending the rise from 122.36. However, considering that GBP/JPY failed to sustain above 55 month EMA (now at 153.94), firm break of 139.29 will confirm trend reversal and turn outlook bearish.
