Daily Pivots: (S1) 158.81; (P) 160.84; (R1) 162.16;

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral for the moment. Overall outlook is unchanged that rebound from 154.70 is viewed as a correction. In case of another rise, we'd expect strong resistance above 61.8% retracement of 175.01 to 154.70 at 167.25 to limit upside and bring down trend resumption. On the downside, below 159.46 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for 154.70. Break will extend the larger down trend.

In the bigger picture, a medium term top was formed at 195.86 on bearish divergence condition in weekly MACD. Fall from 195.86 is currently viewed as a correction and would likely extend to 61.8% retracement of 116.83 to 195.86 at 147.01 before completion. On the upside, break of 175.01 resistance is needed to indicate completion of fall from 195.86. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish in case of rebound.
