GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 150.29; (P) 151.59; (R1) 152.48;

GBP/JPY dips to 150.33 so far today and intraday bias remains on the downside. As noted before, recovery from 147.10 has completed at 154.04 already. Fall from there should be the third leg of the correction pattern from 154.04. Deeper fall should be seen to 148.77 support first. Break will confirm this bearish case and target 147.10 and below. On the upside, above 151.65 minor resistance will turn bias neutral first. But risk will remain on the downside as long as 154.04 resistance holds.

In the bigger picture, a medium term top is in place at 156.77 on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. Deeper pull back could be seen to 38.2% retracement of 118.82 to 156.77 at 142.27. Strong support would likely be seen at 140.37 to bring rebound, at least on first attempt. Overall, we'd still expect whole rise from 116.83 medium term bottom to resume later to 163.05 resistance and above after completing the correction.
