Daily Pivots: (S1) 148.45; (P) 149.14; (R1) 150.32; More
GBP/JPY’s rebound from 146.92 extends higher today. Break of 149.73 support turned resistance suggests that pull back from 152.82 has completed at 146.92 already. Intraday bias is turned back to the upside for retesting 152.82 first. Firm break there will resume whole medium term rise from 122.36. On the downside, break of 148.13 minor support will turn bias to the downside and extend the correction from 152.82. In that, we’d expect strong support from 61.8% retracement of 139.29 to 152.82 at 144.45 to bring rebound.
In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 122.36 is still expected to resume after corrective pull back from 152.82 completes. Firm break of 38.2% retracement of 196.85 to 122.36 at 150.43 will carry long term bullish implications. In that case, GBP/JPY could target 61.8% retracement at 167.78. However, break of 139.29 will indicate rejection from 150.43 key fibonacci level. And the three wave corrective structure of rebound from 122.36 will argue that larger down trend is resuming for a new low below 122.26.
