GBP/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 151.87; (P) 153.05; (R1) 153.73;

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral for now. Consolidation from 156.77 could continue. Below 151.77 will bring deeper pull back. But in that case, downside should be contained by 146.42 cluster support (61.8% retracement of 140.37 to 156.77 at 146.63) and bring another rally. The larger rise is in favor to continue through 156.77.

In the bigger picture, the medium term rise from 116.83 is still in progress. As noted before, whether such a rally is impulsive or corrective in nature, it's at least a move at the same degree as a fall from 163.05. We expect the current rise to extend to 163.05 resistance and above. Considering the bearish divergence condition in the daily MACD, a break of 146.42 will indicate medium term topping and should bring deeper fall back to 140.37 and below.
