GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 148.26; (P) 148.88; (R1) 149.48;

The break of 148.77 support confirmed the bearish case. That is, fall from 154.04 is resuming whole corrective pattern from 156.77 as the third leg. Intraday bias remains on the downside for 147.10 first. Break will target 100% projection of 156.77 to 147.10 from 154.40 at 144.37. On the upside, above 150.92 minor resistance will turn bias neutral first.

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.
