GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 142.64; (P) 143.45; (R1) 143.95;
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral at this point. On the upside, break of 145.67 will target 38.2% retracement of 156.59 to 139.88 at 146.26. Decisive break there will be a strong signal that fall from 156.59 has completed at 139.88, ahead of 139.29/47 key support zone. Further rally should then be seen to 149.30 resistance for confirmation. On the downside, though, break of 142.58 will turn focus back to 139.88 low instead.
In the bigger picture, at this point decline from 156.59 is still seen as a corrective move. Focus remains on 139.29 cluster support (50% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 139.47). Strong rebound from there will re-affirm the bullish case that rise from 122.36 is still to extend through 156.59 high. However, sustained break of 139.29/47 should confirm medium term reversal. GBP/JPY would then target a retest on 122.26 (2016 low).
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 128.20; (P) 129.02; (R1) 129.54;
Despite breaching 128.31, EUR/JPY quickly recovered again. Intraday bias remains neutral. On the upside, break of 130.86 will extend the rise from 124.89 and target 131.97/132.56 key resistance zone. On the downside however, break of 128.31 will extend the fall from 130.86 to 61.8% retracement of 124.89 to 130.86 at 127.17 and below.
In the bigger picture, EUR/JPY once again rebounded ahead of 124.08 key resistance turned support. It’s also held well above long term trend line from 109.03 (2016 low). The development argues that such rise from 109.03 might not be over yet. Decisive break of 61.8% retracement of 137.49 to 124.61 at 132.56 will pave the way to retest 137.49 high. But, firm break of 124.08 will argue that whole rise from 109.03 (2016 low) has completed at 137.49. Deeper decline would be seen to 61.8% retracement of 109.03 to 137.49 at 119.90 next.
