GBP/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 151.06; (P) 151.59; (R1) 152.49; More…

GBP/JPY’s rise resumed after brief retreat and reaches as high as 152.50 so far. Intraday bias is back on the upside. Current rebound from 144.97 would extend towards 156.59 high. Nonetheless, as such rise is viewed as a correction, we’ll look for sign of loss of upside momentum as it approaches 156.59 high. On the downside, below 151.15 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first. But further rally is expected as long as 150.58 resistance turned support holds.

In the bigger picture, the outlook is turning mixed again. On the one hand, the cross was rejected by 55 month EMA (now at 154.20) after breaching it briefing. On the other hand, there was no sustainable selling pushing it through 38.2% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 143.51. The most likely scenario is that GBP/JPY is turning into a sideway pattern between 143.51 and 156.59. And more range trading would now be seen before a breakout, possibly on the upside.

GBP/JPY lost upside momentum after meeting 61.8% retracement of 156.59 to 144.97 at 152.15. A temporary top is in place at 152.23 and intraday bias is turned neutral. Another rise is in favor as long as 148.37 minor support holds. But again, price actions from 144.97 are still seen as corrective looking. Hence, we’ll look for sign of loss of upside momentum as it approaches 156.59 high. Meanwhile, break of 148.37 will indicate completion of the rebound from 144.97 and bring retest of this low.

GBP/JPY’s rebound from 144.97 is trying to resume today but focus stays on 150.92 resistance. Firm break there will extend the rise to 61.8% retracement of 156.59 to 144.97 at 152.15 and above. The price actions from 144.97 are still corrective looking. Hence, we’ll look for sign of loss of upside momentum as it approaches 156.59 high. However, break of 148.37 minor support should confirm rejection from 150.92 resistance. In that case, deeper fall should be seen through 144.97 to resume the decline from 156.59.

In the bigger picture, the case for medium term reversal has been building up. There is bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. 146.96 support was taken out. And GBP/JPY was rejected by 55 month EMA. Break of 38.2% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 143.51 will pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 135.43 and below. This will now be the preferred case as long as 150.92 resistance holds. However, sustained trading above 150.92 will argue that the larger rise from 122.36 might still be in progress for another high above 156.59.

GBP/JPY Weekly Outlook

GBP/JPY’s choppy rebound from extended to 151.21 last week but breached 150.92 resistance briefly. But it couldn’t sustain above 150.92 (50% retracement of 156.59 to 144.97 at 150.78) yet. Initial bias stays neutral this week first. We’d still expect strong resistance from 150.78/92 to limit upside. Break of 148.37 will turn bias to the downside for retesting 144.97 first. However, sustained break of 150.92 will indicate near term reversal and pave the way back to retest 156.69 high.

.In the longer term picture, rejection from 55 month EEMA (now at 154.18) argues that medium term rebound from 122.36 might be completed. And, the corrective structure also carries some bearish implication today. Sustained break of 135.58 key support will likely bring retest of 122.36 low, with prospect of resuming the long term down trend from 195.86 (2015 high).
