Daily Pivots: (S1) 140.51; (P) 141.28; (R1) 141.73; More
GBP/JPY’s decline resumed by taking out 141.24 and reaches as low as 140.60 so far. Intraday bias is back on the downside. Fall from 147.76 is still in progress and would extend through 138.65 support. Nonetheless, GBP/JPY is seen as staying in consolidation pattern from 148.42, we’d expect strong support from 135.58 to contain downside. Break of 143.18 resistance is needed to indicate short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook stays bearish in case of recovery.
In the bigger picture, the sideway pattern from 148.42 is extending with another leg. But we’d expect strong support from 135.58 and 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 to contain downside. Medium term rise from 122.36 is still expected to resume later. And break of 38.2% retracement of 196.85 to 122.36 at 150.43 will carry long term bullish implications. However, firm break of 135.58/39 will dampen the bullish view and turn focus back to 122.36 low.
