GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 145.94; (P) 146.46; (R1) 147.25;
GBP/JPY is still bounded in consolidation below 148.09 short term top. Intraday bias remains neutral for the moment and deeper pull back cannot be ruled out. But in that case, we'd expect downside to be contained by 38.2% retracement of 135.58 to 148.09 at 143.31 and bring rise resumption. Break of 148.42 resistance will target 150.42 long term fibonacci level first. Break there will pave the way to 100% projection of 122.36 to 148.42 from 135.58 at 161.64.
In the bigger picture, based on current momentum, rise from 122.36 bottom should be developing into a medium term move. Break of 38.2% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 150.42 should pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 167.78. This will now be the favored case as long as 135.58 support holds.
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 124.04; (P) 124.46; (R1) 125.30;
EUR/JPY's rally resumed by taking out 124.53 and reaches as high as 125.15 so far. Intraday bias is back on the upside. Current rise from 114.84 is part of the medium term rebound from 109.03 and should target 126.09 resistance first. Decisive break there will extend the rise to 100% projection of 109.03 to 124.08 from 114.84 at 129.89. On the downside, break of 123.30 support is needed to indicate short term topping. Otherwise, outlook will stay bullish in case of retreat.
In the bigger picture, focus is back on 126.09 support turned resistance. Decisive break there will confirm completion of the down trend from 149.76. And in such case, rise from 109.20 is at the same degree and should target 141.04 resistance and above. Meanwhile, rejection from 126.09 and break of 114.84 will extend the fall from 149.76 through 109.20 low.
