h2 GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 131.71; (P) 132.01; (R1) 132.58;

Breach of 132.52 minor resistance suggests that choppy fall from 143.21 has completed at 129.14, ahead of 128.66. Rebound from 129.14 might extend higher as the third leg of the consolidation pattern from 128.66 and target 143.21. Though, break of 128.66 will resume larger down trend from 195.86 and target next projection level at 122.71.

In the bigger picture, fall from 195.86 medium term top is still in progress and would target 100% projection of 195.86 to 154.70 from 163.87 at 122.71. There is prospect of retesting 116.83 (2011 low). On the upside, break of 154.70 support turned resistance is needed to be the first sign medium term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish in case of rebound.
