GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 139.19; (P) 139.89; (R1) 141.25;
GBP/JPY recovered after hitting 138.53 and intraday bias is turned neutral first. Overall, price actions from 148.42 are viewed as a corrective pattern, with fall from 144.77 has a leg. On the downside, below 138.52 will target 136.44 first. Break will target 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39. But we'd expect strong support from there to bring rebound. On the upside, above 141.96 will turn bias to the upside and probably extend the rise from 136.44 through 144.77.
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) 119.64; (P) 119.93; (R1) 120.32;
Intraday bias in EUR/JPY remains on the downside as the decline from 124.08 extends. Such choppy fall is seen as a corrective move. Hence, we'd expect strong support from 118.45 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 109.20 to 124.08 at 118.39) to bring rebound. On the upside, above 120.54 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 123.30/124.08 resistance zone.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 109.20 medium term bottom are seen as part of a medium term corrective pattern from 149.76. There is prospect of another rise towards 126.09 key resistance level before completion. But even in that case, we'd expect strong resistance between 126.09 and 141.04 to limit upside, at least on first attempt. Nonetheless, decisive break of 118.45 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 109.20 to 124.08 at 118.39) will argue that rise from 109.20 is completed and turn outlook bearish for 61.8% retracement at 114.88 and below.
