h2 GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 138.78; (P) 140.07; (R1) 141.65;

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral for consolidation below 141.73 temporary top. Downside of retreat should be contained by 38.2% retracement of 122.36 to 141.73 at 134.33 and bring another rise. As noted before, rise from 122.36 is seen as developing into medium term consolidation. Above 141.73 will target long term fibonacci level at 150.43. But we'd be cautious on topping at 150.43 on first attempt.

In the bigger picture, the down trend from 195.86 top (2015 high) should have made a medium term bottom at 122.36 after hitting 100% projection of 195.86 to 154.70 from 163.87 at 122.71. Rise from there is now expected to develop into a medium term corrective pattern. Further rise should be seen to 38.2% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 150.4. We'd expect strong resistance from there to limit upside. But sustained break there will extend the rise to 61.8% retracement at 167.78.
