GBP/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 149.11; (P) 149.60; (R1) 150.06; More

GBP/JPY’s rebound from 146.92 resumes after brief consolidation and reaches as high as 151.38 so far. Intraday bias remains on the upside for 152.82 high. Firm break there will confirm resumption of medium term rise from 122.36 and target 163.87 resistance next. On the downside, break of 149.11 minor support will turn bias to the downside and extend the correction from 152.82. In that case, we’d expect strong support from 61.8% retracement of 139.29 to 152.82 at 144.45 to bring rebound.

In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 122.36 is still expected to resume after corrective pull back from 152.82 completes. Firm break of 38.2% retracement of 196.85 to 122.36 at 150.43 will carry long term bullish implications. In that case, GBP/JPY could target 61.8% retracement at 167.78. However, break of 139.29 will indicate rejection from 150.43 key fibonacci level. And the three wave corrective structure of rebound from 122.36 will argue that larger down trend is resuming for a new low below 122.26.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 141.20; (P) 141.96; (R1) 142.58; More…

A temporary top is formed at 142.71 with current retreat. Intraday bias is turned neutral for some consolidation. But further rise is expected as long as 138.24 support holds. Break of 142.71 will target 161.8% projection of 123.94 to 135.74 from 129.27 at 148.36.

In the bigger picture, rise from 123.94 is still seen as a rising leg of the sideway consolidation pattern from 122.75 (2016 low). As long as 147.95 resistance holds, an eventual downside breakout remains in favor. However, firm break of 147.95 will raise the chance of long term bullish reversal. Focus will then be turned to 156.59 resistance for confirmation.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 144.42; (P) 144.72; (R1) 145.05; More…

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral as it’s staying in range of 143.72/148.87. For now, further rise remains in favor as long as 143.72 support holds. Decisive break of 149.48 key resistance will carry larger bullish in implications and target 156.58 resistance next. However, on the downside, sustained break of 143.72 will indicate near term reversal, after rejection by 149.48 key resistance. In that case, intraday bias will be turned to the downside for 141.00 support first.

In the bigger picture, focus is staying on 149.98 key resistance. Decisive break there should confirm that medium term fall from 156.59 (2018 high) has completed at 131.51 already. Rise from 131.51 is then seen as the third leg of the corrective pattern from 122.36 (2016 low). GBP/JPY should then target 156.59 and above. However, rejection by 149.98 will retain medium term bearishness and could extend the fall from 156.59 through 131.51 to 122.36.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 141.38; (P) 141.93; (R1) 142.38; More

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains mildly on the downside for 139.29 support. Break will extend the fall from 147.76 and target 135.58 key support level. At this point, price actions from 148.42 are seen as a sideway consolidation pattern. Hence, we’ll expect strong support from 135.58 to contain downside and bring rebound. Meanwhile, break of 143.18 will indicate short term reversal and turn bias back to the upside.

In the bigger picture, the sideway pattern from 148.42 is still unfolding. In case of deeper fall, 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 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.

Sustained break of 38.2% retracement of 123.94 to 142.71 at 135.53 will suggest that whole rebound from 123.94 has completed. Deeper fall could then be seen to 61.8% retracement at 131.11 next. Though, strong rebound from current level, followed by break of 138.38 minor resistance, will turn bias back to the upside for retesting 142.71 instead.

In the bigger picture, rise from 123.94 is still seen as a rising leg of the sideway consolidation pattern from 122.75 (2016 low).

GBP/JPY’s fall from 186.75 is extending and further decline is expected as long as 184.39 resistance holds. Sustained trading below 55 D EMA (now at 182.44) will argue that it’s already in a larger scale correction and target 176.29 support next. On the upside, break of 184.39 resistance will suggest that the pull back from 186.75 has completed. Intraday bias will be turned back to the upside for 185.76 resistance next.

GBPJPY Seems To Be Looking For Recovery After Steep Losses

GBPJPY has come under renewed selling pressure over the past four days following the upside run towards the 15-week high of 139.80. The pair declined beneath the 100- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) but found strong support at the 20-day SMA earlier today.

Looking to the short-term oscillators, the stochastic and the RSI promote slight improvements around their oversold and neutral marks respectively, despite diminished directional momentum. Yet, the bullish crossover within the 20- and 40-day SMAs maintains a bullish tone in the market.

A successful attempt above the 100-day SMA could raise the likelihood of the price meeting the 200-day SMA currently at 137.50. More gains could lead the price towards the 15-week peak at 139.80 and the 140.90 resistance level, while investors could look for more bullish moves leading up to the 144.95 barrier, identified by the high on February 21.

On the flip side, a continuation of the recent bearish movement could find immediate support at the 40-day SMA, which stands near the 133.00 psychological mark. A drop beneath this key line and the short-term ascending line could find support at 129.30, registered on May 18. Even lower, a minor level at 127.27 may halt bearish movement.

Summarizing, GBPJPY has been in a bullish structure since March 18, but it is currently creating a bearish correction which may end near the 133.00 handle. If not, the price could shift its bias to neutral in the short-term.

GBP/JPY continues to lose upside momentum as seen in 4 hour MACD. But further rise cannot be rule out yet. Though, we’d expect strong resistance from trend line (now at 146.81) to limit upside, at least on first attempt. On the downside, firm break of 141.00 support will suggest completion of the rebound and turn bias to the downside.

In the bigger picture, the strong rebound from 131.51 suggests that medium term fall from 156.59 (2018 high) has completed already. The corrective structure of such decline is turn argues that it’s the second leg of the corrective pattern from 122.36 (2016 low). And this pattern is starting the third leg. On the upside, decisive break of 149.38 will pave the way to 156.59 resistance and above.

With today’s strong rally, focus is now on 141.50 resistance in GBP/JPY. Decisive break there will confirm resumption of rise from 126.54. Intraday bias will be turned to the upside for trend line resistance (now at 144.09). For now, near term outlook will remain bullish as long as 139.36 support holds. However, break of 139.36 will turn bias to the downside for deeper pull back to 135.74 resistance turned support.

In the bigger picture, consolidation pattern from 122.75 (2016 low) is still in progress with rise from 126.54 as the third leg. Further rise should be seen back to 148.87/156.59 resistance zone. For now, we’d expect strong resistance from there to limit upside. And, this will remain the favored case as long as 135.74 resistance turned support holds.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 150.01; (P) 151.86; (R1) 153.01; More…

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains on the downside at this point. Fall from 158.19 should target 100% projection of 158.19 to 152.35 from 154.70 at 148.86 next, which is close to 148.93 key structural support. Decisive break there will carry larger bearish implication and target 161.8% projection at 145.25 next. For now, near term outlook will stay bearish as long as 154.70 resistance holds, in case of recovery.

In the bigger picture, the break of medium term channel support, and bearish divergence condition in week MACD are raising the chance of medium term topping at 158.19. Firm break of 148.93 support will argue that GBP/JPY is at least correcting the whole rise from 123.94 (2020 low). In this case, deeper fall would be seen to 38.2% retracement of 123.94 to 158.19 at 145.10. Nevertheless, strong rebound from 148.93 will retain medium term bullishness for another rise through 158.19 at a later stage.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 135.20; (P) 135.56; (R1) 135.94; More…

Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains on the downside at this point. Recent fall from 148.87 has just resumed and further fall should be seen to 131.51 low next. On the upside, break of 137.78 resistance is needed to indicate short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish in case of recovery.

In the bigger picture, current development suggests that GBP/JPY’s medium term fall from 156.59 (2018 high) is still in progress. Break of 131.51 will target 122.36 (2016 low). Structure of such decline is corrective looking so far, arguing that it’s just the second leg of consolidation from 122.36. Thus, we’d expect strong support from 122.36 to contain downside to bring reversal.

GBP/JPY drops sharply after hitting 146.77 but it’s staying above 144.01 support. Intraday bias remains neutral first. On the downside, break of 144.01 will extend the sideway pattern from 148.20 with another fall back to 135.58/65 support zone. On the upside, above 146.77 will turn bias to the upside. Further break of 147.76/148.42 key resistance zone will resume larger rebound from 122.36.

GBP/JPY’s rally resumed after brief consolidation and hits as high as 142.79 so far. Intraday bias is back on the upside. Current rise from 126.54 should target trend line resistance (now at 143.52) next. Sustained break will pave the way to 148.87 key resistance next. On the downside, break of 140.83 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first. But outlook will remain bullish as long as 139.31 support holds, in case of retreat.

In the bigger picture, current rise from 126.54 is seen as the third leg of the consolidation pattern from 122.75 (2016 low). Further rally could be seen but for now, we’d expect strong resistance from 156.59 to limit upside. On the downside, sustained break of 135.74 resistance turned support will suggest that such rebound has completed. Deeper decline could the be seen to retest 126.54 low.

GBP/JPY Weekly Outlook

GBP/JPY’s breach of 172.30 resistance last week argues that larger up trend is resuming. Initial bias is mildly on the upside this week. Next target is 100% projection of 148.93 to 172.11 from 155.33 at 178.51. For now, outlook will stay bullish as long as 167.82 support holds, in case of retreat.

In the bigger picture, focus stays on 172.11 resistance (2022 high). Decisive break there will resume whole up trend from 123.94 (2020 low). Next target will be 161.8% projection of 122.75 (2016 low) to 156.59 (2018 high) from 123.94 at 178.69. Nevertheless, firm break of 167.82 support will indicate rejection by 172.11 and extend the corrective pattern from there with another falling leg.

In the longer term picture, as long as 55 M EMA (now at 154.46) holds, rise from 122.75 (2016 low) could still extend higher at a later stage to 195.86 (2015 high).
