GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 150.27; (P) 151.17; (R1) 152.61;

The break of 151.31 indicates that pull back from 154.04 has completed at 147.61 already. Intraday bias is back on the upside. Consolidation pattern from 147.10 is set to extend further and strong rise would be seen to 154.04 and above. Nonetheless, we'd continue to expect strong resistance below 156.77 to bring reversal for another fall inside the pattern from 156.77.

In the bigger picture, a medium term top is in place at 156.77 on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. Deeper pull back could be seen to 38.2% retracement of 118.82 to 156.77 at 142.27. Strong support would likely be seen at 140.37 to bring rebound, at least on first attempt. Overall, we'd still expect whole rise from 116.83 medium term bottom to resume later to 163.05 resistance and above after completing the correction.
