Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral for the moment. Prior break of 169.34 was taken as an indication of medium term topping at 180.70. Further fall is expected as long as 175.00 resistance holds. Below 168.01 will target 163.87 support next. Nonetheless, break of 175.00 will turn focus back to 180.70 high instead.

In the bigger picture, the break of 169.34 support indicates that the up trend from 116.83 low has made a medium term top at 180.70 already, on bearish divergence condition in daily and weekly MACD. Deeper correction should be seen to 38.2% retracement of 116.83 to 180.70 at 156.30 first. While we'd expect this up trend to resume later, there should be a lengthy medium term consolidation first.
