GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 148.86; (P) 149.45; (R1) 149.81; More…

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY stays neutral first. Corrective recovery from 147.04 could still extend higher. But upside should be limited below 150.60 support turned resistance to bring decline resumption. On the downside, break of 148.16 will turn bias to the downside for 147.04 and then 144.97. Decisive break of 144.97 will resume the fall from 156.59 and target 100% projection of 156.59 to 144.97 from 153.84 at 142.22 next.

In the bigger picture, for now, we’re treating price actions from 156.59 as a corrective move. Therefore, while deeper fall is expected, strong support should be seen above 139.29 cluster support (50% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 139.47) to contain downside and bring rebound. There is still prospect of extending the rise from 122.36. However, considering that GBP/JPY failed to sustain above 55 month EMA (now at 153.94), firm break of 139.29 will confirm trend reversal and turn outlook bearish.
