Daily Pivots: (S1) 171.72; (P) 172.49; (R1) 173.98;

Intraday bias in the GBP/JPY remain son the upside for 173.95 resistance. Break will confirm completion of the correction pattern from 175.36 at 169.34, just defended 169.53 key support. In such case, stronger rally should be seen to retest 175.36 high. Though, below 171.67 will turn focus back to 169.34/53 instead.

In the bigger picture, the up trend from 116.83 (2011 low) continued to lose upside momentum. This could be seen in bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. And, weekly MACD continued to trend down. Sustained break of 169.53 support should confirm medium term topping at 1175.36 and turn outlook bearish for 38.2% retracement of 116.83 to 175.36 at 153.00. Before that, another rally cannot be ruled out. But in that case, we'd expect strong resistance below 50% retracement retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 183.96 to bring reversal.
