GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 146.47; (P) 146.78; (R1) 147.25;
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral as range trading continues below 148.10. On the upside, above 148.10 will resume the rebound from 143.18 and target 149.99, and then 153.84 resistance. However, break of 145.82 minor support will argue that the rebound from 143.18 is completed and bring retest of this low.
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.
EUR/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1541; (P) 1.1564; (R1) 1.1602;
Intraday bias in EUR/CHF remains neutral first. Near term outlook is unchanged that the corrective pattern from 1.2004 is expected to extend with at least one more decline. One the downside, break of 1.1505 minor support will turn bias to the downside for retesting 1.1366 low first. Above 1.1656 will extend the rebound to 61.8% retracement of 1.2004 to 1.1366 at 1.1760. But, we’ll look for reversal signal above 1.1760.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests solid rejection by prior SNB imposed floor at 1.2000. Considering bearish divergence condition in daily and weekly MACD, 1.2004 should be a medium term top. And price action from 1.2004 is correcting the up trend from 1.0629. Such correction is expected to extend for a while and therefore, we’re not anticipating a break of 1.2004 in near term. Another decline cannot be ruled out yet. But in that case, strong support should be seen at 1.1198 (2016 high), 61.8% retracement of 1.0629 to 1.2004 at 1.1154 to contain downside.
