Daily Pivots: (S1) 147.39; (P) 148.42; (R1) 149.26; More…
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains on the downside for the moment. With 148.37 support taken out, fall from 153.84 should extend to 144.97 low first. Break there will target 143.51 fibonacci level. On the upside, above 149.45 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral and bring recovery. But upside should be limited well below 152.71 resistance to bring another decline.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 156.59 are viewed as a corrective pattern. For now, we’d expect at least one more fall for 38.2% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 143.51 before the consolidation completed. Though, firm break of 156.59 will resume whole up trend from 122.36 (2016 low) to 50% retracement of 195.86 (2015high) to 122.36 at 159.11 next.
