EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 127.56; (P) 128.18; (R1) 129.09;
EUR/JPY’s recovery from 126.63 is still in progress but lacks firm upside momentum. Intraday bias remains neutral first. On the upside, break of 130.33 resistance will confirm resumption of rise from 124.61. That will also revive the case of near term reversal and turn bias to the upside for 133.47 key resistance. On the downside, break of 126.63 will bring retest of 124.61 low instead.
In the bigger picture, despite rebounding strongly ahead of 124.08 resistance turned support, there was no clear follow through buying. Note again that there is bearish divergence in daily MACD. Firm break of 124.08 will confirm trend reversal. That is, whole rise from 109.03 (2016 low) has completed at 137.49 already. In that case, deeper fall should be seen back to 61.8% retracement of 109.03 to 137.49 at 119.90 and below. Nonetheless, decisive break of 133.47 key resistance will likely extend the rise from 109.03 through 137.49 high.
GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 144.88; (P) 145.58; (R1) 146.46;
GBP/JPY is staying in tight range above 144.37 and intraday bias remains neutral for the moment. On the downside, below 144.37 will target 143.18 first. Break will resume larger decline from 156.59 and target 139.25/47 cluster support level. However, break of 148.10 will resume the rebound from 143.18 and that will also be the first sign of near term reversal.
In the bigger picture, no change in the view that decline from 156.59 is a corrective move. In case of another fall, strong support should be seen above 139.29 cluster support (50% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 139.47) to contain downside and bring rebound. Meanwhile, break of 153.84 should confirm that the correction is completed and target 156.59 and above to resume the medium term up trend.
