GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 144.32; (P) 144.88; (R1) 145.28;
GBP/JPY's recovery was limited below 145.78 resistance and drops sharply. Focus is now on 143.34 support. Break there will extend the whole decline from 148.09 to 61.8% retracement of 135.58 to 148.09 at 140.35. At this point, we'd still expect rebound from 122.36 to resume later. Hence, we'd look for strong support below 140.35 to contain downside and bring rebound. Ob the upside, above 145.78 will turn bias back to the upside for retesting 148.09 first.
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) 125.01; (P) 125.41; (R1) 125.75;
EUR/JPY failed to take out 125.80 resistance and weakens again. Intraday bias remains neutral as the consolidation from 125.80 might extend with another fall. But still, downside should be contained by 38.2% retracement of 114.84 to 125.80 at 121.61 to bring rise resumption. We're staying mildly bullish in the cross. And, break of 126.09 key resistance will extend the whole rebound from 109.03 to 100% projection of 109.03 to 124.08 from 114.84 at 129.89.
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.
