Daily Currency Outlook: GPB/JPY, EUR/JPY

Daily Pivots: (S1) 143.19; (P) 144.20; (R1) 144.98;

No change in GBP/JPY's outlook: intraday bias remains neutral with focus on 142.00 minor support. Breaking will indicate that rebound from 137.87 has completed at 145.85. In that case, the consolidation pattern from 147.97 should have started the third leg for 38.2% retracement of 118.82 to 147.97 at 136.83 and below. Meanwhile, even in case of another rise, a firm break of 147.97 is needed to confirm resumption of recent rally. Otherwise, risk of another fall remains as consolidation from 147.97 continues.

In the bigger picture, medium term fall from 163.05 has already completed at 116.83. It's a bit early to conclude reversal of the long term down trend from 251.09 (2007 high). A rise from 116.83 should at least be a move at the same degree as fall from 163.05. Medium term rise is now expected back to 163.05. We'll stay bullish as long as 133.48 resistance turned support holds.

EUR/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 121.49; (P) 122.93; (R1) 123.83;

Intraday bias in EUR/JPY stays neutral for the moment, but it looks like a fall from 126.03 is resuming soon. This type of decline is viewed as the third leg of the consolidation pattern from 127.70. Below 121.63 will target 118.71 support - and below. At this point, we'd expect strong support from 117.04 (38.2% retracement of 100.32 to 127.70 at 117.24), to complete the consolidation and eventually bring rally resumption.

Whole down trend from 169.96 (2008 high) has already completed at 94.11, on bullish convergence condition in weekly MACD. Rise from there isn't finished yet and is expected to continue to 50% retracement of 169.96 to 94.11 at 132.03 next. Such rise would eventually extend to 139.21 resistance and above. We'll stay bullish as long as 111.43 resistance turned support holds.
