GBP/JPY’s rebound and break of 139.39 minor resistance suggests short term bottoming at 137.51. Fall from 144.77 is possibly completed already. Intraday bias is turned back to the upside for 142.79 resistance first. Break will send GBP/JPY through 144.77 to 148.42 high. Overall, price actions from 148.42 are seen as forming a consolidation pattern. In case of another fall, we’d expect support from 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 to contain downside and bring rebound.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 122.36 medium term bottom are still seen as a corrective pattern. Main focus is on 38.2% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 150.42. Rejection from there will turn the cross into medium term sideway pattern. Or, sustained break of 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 will turn outlook bearish for a test on 122.36 low. Though, sustained break of 150.42 will extend the rebound towards 61.8% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 167.78.
