h2 GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 152.77; (P) 153.67; (R1) 154.50;

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains mildly on the upside for the moment. As short term bottom was formed at 145.38 and rebound from there would target 55 days EMA (now at 156.59) first. Break will target 163.87 resistance. There is no confirmation of trend reversal yet and we'll be cautious on strong resistance from 163.87 to limit upside. On the downside, below 151.66 minor support will turn bias neutral again.

In the bigger picture, fall from 195.86 medium term top is still in progress and met 61.8% retracement of 116.83 to 195.86 at 147.01 already. Current downside acceleration suggest that it's target 61.8% projection of 195.86 to 154.70 from 163.87 at 138.43. In any case, break of 163.87 resistance is needed to confirm medium term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish with risks on the downside.
