GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 139.20; (P) 139.87; (R1) 140.22;
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral for the moment as it's bounded in choppy trading inside range of 138.53/142.79. 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) 121.70; (P) 122.26; (R1) 123.03;
Intraday bias in EUR/JPY remains on the upside for the moment as the rebound from 118.23 should continue. As noted before, correction from 124.08 has completed at 118.23 after defending 118.45 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 109.20 to 124.08 at 118.39). More importantly, whole rise from 109.20 is likely resuming. Further rally should now be seen to 124.08 high. Break will confirm this bullish case and target 126.09 key resistance next. On the downside, below 121.88 minor support will turn bias neutral and bring retreat before staging anther rally.
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.
