GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 185.39; (P) 187.30; (R1) 189.41;
The break of 187.29 support in GBP/JPY suggests that a short term top is already in place at 189.70 on bearish divergence condition in 4 hours MACD. Intraday bias is mildly on the downside for 184.31 support and below. At this point, we'd expect strong support from 181.09, 38.2% retracement of 168.01 to 189.70 at 181.41, to contain downside and bring rebound. On the upside, break of 189.70 is needed to confirm rally resumption. Otherwise, we'd expect more corrective trading in near term.
In the bigger picture, the up trend from 116.83 is still in progress for 61.8% retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 199.80, which is close to 200 psychological level. On the downside, break of 168.01 support is needed to confirm medium term topping. Otherwise, outlook will stay bullish in case of pull back.
