No change in GBP/JPY’s outlook even though it’s losing upside momentum. As long as 151.74 minor support holds, further rally is expected. Current rise should target 61.8% projection of 139.29 to 152.82 from 146.96 at 155.32 first. Break will target 100% projection at 160.49 next. However, firm break of 151.74 will turn focus back to 149.40 support instead.
In the bigger picture, it now looks like GBP/JPY has finally taken out 38.2% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 150.43. Medium term rise from 122.36 should be targeting 61.8% retracement at 167.78. This will now be the favored case as long as 146.96 support remains intact.
