GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 167.03; (P) 167.46; (R1) 168.08;

The GBP/JPY's rally continues today and reaches as high as 168.53 so far. Intraday bias remains on the upside for 100% projection of 147.61 to 159.98 from 156.63 at 169.00 next. Break will target 170 psychological level. On the downside, below 165.96 will be an early sign of near term topping and will turn bias back to the downside for pull back.

In the bigger picture, there is no clear sign of topping and indeed, the cross might be building upside momentum again. We'd be cautious on resistance from around 38.2% retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 168.11 to bring medium term topping. But, a sustained break there will pave the way to 50% retracement at 183.96 and above.
