GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 137.55; (P) 138.03; (R1) 138.54;
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains mildly on the downside for the moment. Choppy decline from 144.77 would target 136.44 support and below. But we'd expect support from 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 to contain downside and bring rebound. On the upside, break of 139.39 minor resistance will turn bias to the upside and send GBP/JPY through 142.79 resistance. Overall, price actions from 148.42 are forming a consolidation pattern.
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. Or, sustained break of 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 will turn outlook bearish for a test on 122.36 low. Though, sustained break of 150.42 will extend the rebound towards 61.8% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 167.78.
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 119.79; (P) 120.08; (R1) 120.48;
Intraday bias in EUR/JPY remains mildly on the downside as the fall from 122.88 should target 118.23 support. At this point, we're holding on to the view that price actions from 124.08 are forming a consolidation pattern. There, strong support is expected around 118.45 key cluster support level (38.2% retracement of 109.20 to 124.08 at 118.39) to contain downside and bring rebound. On the upside, above 120.43 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 122.88 resistance.
In the bigger picture, we're holding on to the view that medium term rise from 109.20 is still in progress. Focus is 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, or firm break of 118.45 cluster support, will likely extend the fall from 149.76 through 109.20 low.
