EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 129.28; (P) 129.71; (R1) 130.02;
Intraday bias in EUR/JPY stays neutral for the moment and outlook is unchanged. We’d continue to expect strong resistance from 130.20 to limit upside, to resume the decline from 133.12. On the downside, break of 128.38 minor support will turn bias to the downside. Break of 126.63 will extend the fall from 133.12 to retest 124.89 low. Nonetheless, sustained break of 130.20 will pave the way back to 133.12 high instead.
In the bigger picture, as long as 124.08 key resistance turn supported holds, larger up trend from 109.03 (2016 low) is still in progress. Firm break of 137.49 structural resistance will target 141.04/149.76 resistance zone next. However, decisive break of 124.08 will argue that such rise from 109.03 has completed and turn outlook bearish. In that case, deeper fall would be seen to 61.8% retracement of 109.03 to 137.49 at 119.90.
GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 148.54; (P) 149.01; (R1) 149.42;
GBP/JPY’s decline from 149.48 extends lower today but it’s staying above 146.28 minor support. Intraday bias stays neutral first and another rise is mildly in favor. On the upside, decisive break of 149.70 will resume whole rise from 139.88 and target 153.84/156.59 resistance zone. On the downside, below 146.28 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for 142.76 instead.
In the bigger picture, as long as 139.29 cluster support (50% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 139.47) holds, up trend from 122.36 (2016 low) would still extend beyond 156.69 high. However, decisive break of 139.29/47 will suggest that such up trend is completed and turn outlook bearish. In that case, next target is 61.8% retracement at 135.43.
