Daily Pivots: (S1) 142.76; (P) 143.32; (R1) 144.12; More….
GBP/JPY lost some upside momentum as seen in 4 hour MACD. But intraday stays on the upside with 142.49 minor support intact, for 144.77 resistance. Consolidation pattern from 148.42 should have completed three waves down to 135.58, after hitting 135.39 fibonacci level. Break of 144.77 should extend whole rise from 122.36 through 148.42. On the downside, break of 142.49 will turn bias neutral and bring consolidation before staging another rally.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 122.36 medium term bottom are still seen as a corrective pattern. As long as 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 holds, another rising leg would be seen to 38.2% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 150.42 and possibly above. However, firm break of 135.39 will bring retest of 122.36, with prospect of resuming the larger down trend from 195.86.
