GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 138.73; (P) 139.67; (R1) 140.25;
GBP/JPY had another attempt at 138.53 support but rebounded from there again. The cross is staying in range of 138.53/142.79 and intraday bias remains neutral first. Price actions from 148.42 are viewed as a consolidation pattern. On the downside, break of 138.53 support will bring deeper decline to 136.44 support and possibly below. However, we'd expect strong support at 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 to bring rebound. On the upside, above 142.79 will turn bias back to the upside for 144.77 and above.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 122.36 medium term bottom are still seen as a corrective pattern. Main focus is on 38.2% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 150.42. Rejection from there will turn the cross into medium term sideway pattern with a test on 122.36 low next. Though, sustained break of 150.42 will extend the rebound towards 61.8% retracement at 167.78.
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 121.36; (P) 121.70; (R1) 122.27;
EUR/JPY recovered after breaching 121.18 resistance turned support and intraday bias remains neutral. No change in the bullish outlook for the moment and another rise is expected. Above 122.88 will target 124.08. Decisive break there will extend larger rise from 109.20 and target 126.09 key resistance next. However, firm break of 121.18 will likely extend the whole corrective pattern fro 124.08 with another falling leg towards 118.23 low again.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that medium term rise from 109.20 is still in progress. Focus is now on 126.09 key resistance level. Sustained break will confirm completion of the whole decline from 149.76. And rise from 109.20 is of the same degree as the fall from 149.76. In such case, further rally would be seen to 104.04 resistance and possibly above before topping. Meanwhile, rejection from 126.09 will extend the fall from 149.76 through 109.209 low.
