GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 149.72; (P) 150.39; (R1) 151.60;
GBP/JPY recovers after drawing support from 4 hour 55 EMA. Intraday bias is turned neutral first. Above 151.38 will target 152.82 high. Decisive break there will confirm medium term rally resumption. On the downside, below 148.88 support will extend the consolidation from 152.82 with another fall. But downside should be contained by 61.8% retracement of 139.29 to 152.82 at 144.45 and bring rebound.
In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 122.36 is still expected to resume after corrective pull back from 152.82 completes. Firm break of 38.2% retracement of 196.85 to 122.36 at 150.43 will carry long term bullish implications. In that case, GBP/JPY could target 61.8% retracement at 167.78. However, break of 139.29 will indicate rejection from 150.43 key fibonacci level. And the three wave corrective structure of rebound from 122.36 will argue that larger down trend is resuming for a new low below 122.26.
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 131.70; (P) 132.13; (R1) 132.76;
EUR/JPY recovers after breaching 131.65 key support briefing. Intraday bias remains neutral first. on the downside, decisive break of 131.65 will confirm rejection from 134.20 fibonacci level. That will also complete and double top pattern (134.39, 134.48) and confirms near term reversal. 55 day EMA will also be firmly taken out. In that case, deeper decline should be seen back to 127.55 key support. On the upside, decisive break of 134.39/48 resistance zone is needed to confirm up trend resumption. Otherwise, even in case of rebound, near term outlook is neutral at best.
In the bigger picture, medium term rise from 109.03 (2016 low) is seen as at the same degree as the down trend from 149.76 (2014 high) to 109.03 (2016 low). 61.8% retracement of 149.76 to 109.03 at 134.20 is already met. Sustained break there will pave the way to key long term resistance zone at 141.04/149.76. However, break of 127.55 support will argue that the medium term trend has reversed and will turn outlook bearish for deeper fall back to 114.84/124.08 support zone at least.
