GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 146.23; (P) 146.93; (R1) 147.64;
GBP/JPY retreated sharply ahead of 148.10 resistance. But downside is contained well above 145.17 minor support. Intraday bias remains neutral first. On the downside, break of 145.17 will confirm completion of rebound from 143.76. Intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for retesting 143.17 low. Break will resume the fall from 156.59. Meanwhile, break of 1481.0 will be a strong signal of near term reversal. Further rally would be seen to 149.99 resistance for confirmation.
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/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 129.85; (P) 130.05; (R1) 130.45;
EUR/JPY rises to as high as 103.59 so far today. The break of 130.33 resistance and sustained trading above near term falling channel indicate trend reversal. Further rise should be seen to 100% projection of 124.61 to 130.33 from 127.13 at 132.85 next. On the downside break of 128.49 support in now needed to indicate completion of rise from 127.13. Otherwise, outlook will remain cautiously bullish in case of retreat.
In the bigger picture, for now, EUR/JPY is holding above 124.08 key resistance turned support. Fall from 137.49 could be proven to be a correction. Decisive break of 133.47 resistance will confirm its completion and should extend the rise from 109.03 (2016 low) through 137.49 high. However, 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.
