h2 GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 183.79; (P) 184.25; (R1) 184.87;

Outlook in GBP/JPY is unchanged. Sideway consolidation from 180.36 is still in progress and further recovery might be seen. But strong resistance is expected at 188.28 to limit upside to finish the consolidation. Break of 180.36 will extend the whole fall from 195.86 and should then target a test on 174.86 key support level.

In the bigger picture, the break of the medium term trend line support is taken as a sign of trend reversal. This is supported by bearish divergence condition in weekly MACD. Also, GBP/JPY was close to key cluster resistance of 61.8% retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 199.80, which is close to 200 psychological level. Break of 174.86 will confirm trend reversal and bring deeper fall to 38.2% retracement of 116.83 to 195.86 at 165.67. In case of another rise, we'll be cautious on strong resistance from 199.80/200.00 to bring reversal finally.
