Daily Currency Outlook: GPB/JPY and EUR/JPY

Daily Pivots: (S1) 118.73; (P) 118.89; (R1) 119.12;

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY is neutral for the moment and some more consolidations could be seen above 118.25 temporary low. But recovery should be limited by 120.19 resistance and bring fall resumption. Below 118.25 will target 61.8% projection of 127.30 to 119.37 from 122.76 at 117.85, and then 116.83 key support. Though, break of 120.19 will indicate short term bottoming and bring stronger rebound back towards 122.76 resistance.

In the bigger picture, fall from 127.30 is tentatively treated as resuming of decline from 140.20, which is part of the medium term down trend from 163.05. Break of 116.83 will confirm such down trend resumption and should target 61.8% projection of 140.02 to 116.83 from 127.30 at 112.96. On the upside, break of 127.30 resistance is needed to be the first sign of medium term reversal. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish.





EUR/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 97.93; (P) 98.20; (R1) 98.43;

Intraday bias in EUR/JPY remains neutral for the moment and more consolidations could be seen above 97.27 temporary low. Stronger recovery could be seen to 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 99.16). But upside should be limited well below 101.04 support turned resistance and bring fall resumption. Below 97.27 will extend recent decline to 100% projection of 123.31 to 100.74 from 111.57 at 89.00 next.

In the bigger picture, EUR/JPY's downside momentum is accelerating with a break of lower trend line in weekly chart and with weekly MACD staying below signal line Current fall from 123.31 is part of the down trend from 2008 high of 169.96 and should target 100% projection of 139.21 to 105.42 from 123.31 at 89.52. At this point, we'd anticipate strong support there to bring at least a rebound attempt, as it's close to 88.96 all time low as well as the above mentioned 100% near term projection target at 89.00. Though, a break of 111.57 resistance is needed to be the first signal of reversal. Otherwise, we'll continue to stay bearish in the cross even in case of rebound.
