h2 GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 175.53; (P) 176.02; (R1) 176.79;

GBP/JPY drops to as low as 175.26 so far and intraday bias remains on the downside. Firm break of 175.49 support will extend the whole decline from 189.70 and will target 168.10 key support level next. On the upside, break of 179.28 resistance is needed to indicate short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will stay bearish in case of recovery.

In the bigger picture, the up trend from 116.83 lost much medium term momentum with bearish divergence condition seen in weekly MACD. Medium term top could be around the corner, if not formed. Break of 168.01 support will confirm this bearish case and bring deeper correction. Though, as long as 168.01 holds, the up trend could still extend to 61.8% retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 199.80, which is close to 200 psychological level.
