Daily Pivots: (S1) 178.15; (P) 178.78; (R1) 179.73;

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral for the moment as consolidation from 175.86 continues. But still, as long as 180.93 resistance holds, deeper decline is still expected. Below 175.86 will extend the fall from 189.70 to retest 168.01 key support level. Meanwhile, break of 180.93 will bring stronger rebound first.

In the bigger picture, the up trend from 116.83 is starting to lose medium term momentum again 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.
