Daily Currency Outlook: GPB/JPY, EUR/JPY

Daily Pivots: (S1) 150.22; (P) 151.13; (R1) 152.35;

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains mildly on the upside for the moment. Break of 153.01 will resume whole rebound from 147.10. But such rise is viewed as the second leg of consolidation pattern from 156.77. Thus, we'd be cautious on reversal below 156.77 as consolidation from there might extend with another falling leg. Below 148.77 will bring retest of 147.10 support.

In the bigger picture, a medium term top is in place at 156.77 on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. Deeper pull back could be seen to 38.2% retracement of 118.82 to 156.77 at 142.27. Strong support would likely be seen at 140.37 to bring rebound, at least on first attempt. Overall, we'd still expect whole rise from 116.83 medium term bottom to resume later to 163.05 resistance and above after completing the correction.


EUR/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 130.18; (P) 130.76; (R1) 131.25;

Intraday bias in EUR/JPY remains on the upside and rebound from 124.95 is still in progress. But such recovery is viewed as the second leg of the consolidation pattern from 133.80. Hence, we'd be cautious on reversal below 133.80 as consolidation from there might extend with another falling leg. Below 128.01 will bring another fall to 124.95.

In the bigger picture, current development argues that the medium term up trend from 94.11 has topped out at 133.80 on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. Correction from there could extend with another fall to target 119.10 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 94.11 to 133.80 at 118.63). Strong support would be seen there, at least on initial attempt. But, break will target 61.8% retracement at 109.27. Nonetheless, considering the five wave structure of the rise from 94.11, we'd expect another medium term rally after completing the correction.
