Daily Currency Outlook: GBP/JPY Neutral, EUR/JPY Up To 133.12

Daily Pivots: (S1) 154.75; (P) 155.64; (R1) 156.16;

Intraday bias in the GBP/JPY remains neutral for now as the consolidation from 156.77 continues. Another retreat could be seen, but downside should be contained by 153.26 support and bring rise resumption. Above 156.77 will target 100% projection of 125.67 to 147.97 from 140.37 at 162.67, which is close to 163.05 key resistance. On the downside, though, a break of 153.26 will indicate short term topping and bring deeper pull back.

The medium term rise from 116.83 is still in progress. As noted before, whether such a rally is impulsive or corrective in nature, it's at least a move at the same degree as a fall from 163.05. We expect the current rise to extend to 163.05 resistance and above. We'll stay bullish as long as the 146.42 support holds.
