Daily Pivots: (S1) 145.94; (P) 146.46; (R1) 147.25; More….
GBP/JPY is still bounded in consolidation below 148.09 short term top. Intraday bias remains neutral for the moment and deeper pull back cannot be ruled out. But in that case, we’d expect downside to be contained by 38.2% retracement of 135.58 to 148.09 at 143.31 and bring rise resumption. Break of 148.42 resistance will target 150.42 long term fibonacci level first. Break there will pave the way to 100% projection of 122.36 to 148.42 from 135.58 at 161.64.
In the bigger picture, based on current momentum, rise from 122.36 bottom should be developing into a medium term move. Break of 38.2% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 150.42 should pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 167.78. This will now be the favored case as long as 135.58 support holds.
