GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 142.53; (P) 143.36; (R1) 144.78;
GBP/JPY's rally and break of 142.75 resistance indicates completion of fall from 148.09. Intraday bias is turned back to the upside for 148.09/42 resistance zone. Decisive break there will resume whole rebound from 122.36. On the downside, below 141.95 minor support will turn intraday bias back to the downside for 138.65 support instead.
In the bigger picture, while the fall from 148.09 is deeper than expected, we're not bearish in the cross yet. Price action from 148.42 is possibly developing into a sideway pattern with fall from 148.09 as the third leg. Deeper decline could be seen but we're looking for strong support from 135.58 and 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 to contain downside. Rise from 122.36 is still mildly in favor to resume at a later stage. Decisive break of 38.2% retracement of 196.85 to 122.36 at 150.43 will pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 167.78.
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 125.58; (P) 126.52; (R1) 128.32;
EUR/JPY soared sharply to as high as 127.47 so far and remains firm. The break of 126.09 key resistance carries larger bullish implications. Intraday bias remains on the upside and current rally would target 61.8% projection of 114.84 to 125.80 from 122.39 at 129.16 first. That's also close to medium term projection level at 129.89. On the downside, below 126.47 minor support will turn bias neutral and bring retreat first, before staging another rally.
In the bigger picture, the break of 126.09 support turned resistance should have confirmed completion of down trend form 149.76 (2014 high), at 109.03 (2016 low). Current rise from 109.03 should target 100% projection of 109.03 to 124.08 from 114.84 at 129.89 first. Break there will pave the way to 61.8% retracement of 149.76 to 109.03 at 134.20 and above. Medium term outlook will now remain bullish as long as 122.39 support holds.
