GBP/JPY Weekly Outlook

GBP/JPY stayed in range above 155.33 last week and outlook is unchanged. Initial bias stays neutral this week and further decline is in favor. On the downside, break of 155.33 low will resume the fall from 172.11 to 153.70 fibonacci level next. On the upside, sustained trading above 55 day EMA (now at 161.04) will turn bias to the upside, for stronger rise back to 169.26/172.11 resistance zone.

In the bigger picture, as long as 163.02 support turned resistance holds, decline from 172.11 medium term top is expected to continue to 38.2% retracement of 123.94 to 172.11 at 153.70. Sustained break there will raise the change of trend reversal and target 61.8% retracement at 142.34. Nevertheless, break of 163.02 support turned resistance will argue that the decline has completed, and retain medium term bullishness.

In the longer term picture, as long as 55 month EMA (now at 152.38) holds, rise from 122.75 could still extend higher at a later stage.
