GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 167.37; (P) 169.84; (R1) 171.12;

The GBP/JPY drops further to as low as 167.76 so far today and the break of 168.34 support confirms resumption of the correction from 174.84. Intraday bias remains on the downside and deeper fall should be seen to 166.57 support and below. On the upside break of 170.00 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations. But risk will stay on the downside as long as 173.65 resistance holds.

In the bigger picture, the up trend from 116.83 is still in progress and there is no sign of reversal yet. Break of 159.98 resistance turned support is needed to indicate medium term topping. Otherwise, outlook will stay bullish. The up trend from 116.83 should target 50% retracement retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 183.96 and above after completing the consolidation from 174.84.
