GBP/JPY’s rally continues today and hits as high as 153.73 so far. As noted before, corrective pattern from 156.05 should have completed after defending 149.03 key support. Intraday bias stays on the upside for retesting 156.05 high. On the downside, break of 152.13 resistance turned support is needed to indicate completion of the rise from 149.20. Otherwise, we’d expect further rally ahead, even in case of retreat.
In the bigger picture, rise from 123.94 is seen as the third leg of the pattern from 122.75 (2016 low). As long as 149.03 support holds, such rise would still resume at a later stage. However, sustained break of 149.03 support will indicate rejection by 156.59 (2018 high). Fall from 156.05 would at least be correcting the whole rise from 123.94 (2020 low). Deeper fall would be seen back 38.2% retracement of 123.94 to 156.05 at 143.78 first.
