Daily Pivots: (S1) 144.68; (P) 145.52; (R1) 146.04; More…
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral with focus on 144.80 minor support. Further rise is still in favor with 144.80 intact. On the upside, break of 146.50 resistance will solidify that case that consolidation from 148.87 has completed. Further rise should be seen to retest 148.87/149.48 resistance zone next. On the downside, though, firm break of 144.80 minor support will turn focus back to 143.72 key support.
In the bigger picture, focus is staying on 149.98 key resistance. Decisive break there should confirm that medium term fall from 156.59 (2018 high) has completed at 131.51 already. Rise from 131.51 is then seen as the third leg of the corrective pattern from 122.36 (2016 low). GBP/JPY should then target 156.59 and above. However, rejection by 149.98 will retain medium term bearishness and could extend the fall from 156.59 through 131.51 to 122.36.
