Daily Currency Outlook: GPB/JPY and EUR/JPY

Daily Pivots: (S1) 119.10; (P) 119.52; (R1) 119.88;

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral for the moment and some more consolidations could be seen above 118.98 temporary low. But upside is expected to be limited by 120.33 minor resistance and bring fall resumption. Prior break of 119.37 suggests that whole decline from 127.30 has resumed. Below 118.98 will target 61.8% projection of 127.30 to 119.37 from 122.76 at 117.85, and then 116.83 key support. Though, break of 120.33 will dampen this immediate bearish view and turn outlook neutral first, with focus back to 122.76 resistance instead.

In the bigger picture, there is no sign of reversal in GBP/JPY as it's still staying well below the falling 55 weeks EMA (now at 126.94). The down trend from 2007 high of 251.09 is still expected to continue to 61.8% projection of 215.87 to 118.81 from 163.05 at 103.06, which is close to 100 psychological level. On the upside, break of 130.83 resistance is needed to be the first signal of medium term reversal. Otherwise, medium term outlook will remain bearish even in case of further rebound.
