GBP/JPY retreated last week as price actions from 144.84 developed into consolidation pattern. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. Further rise is expected as long as 140.62 minor support holds. Break of 144.82 will resume the rebound from 131.51 to trendline resistance at around 147.23. We’d expect strong resistance from there to limit upside, at least on first attempt. On the downside, firm break of 140.62 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.

In the longer term picture, the rise from 122.36 (2016 low) to 156.59 (2018 high) doesn’t display a clear impulsive structure. Thus, we’re treating price actions from 122.36 as a corrective pattern. In case of an extension, strong resistance is likely to be seen at 50% retracement of 195.86 (2015 high) to 122.36 at 159.11 to limit upside. On the downside, break of 131.51 support will bring 122.26 low back into focus.

GBP/JPY is staying in consolidation from 144.84 temporary top and intraday bias remains neutral first. Further rise is still expected as long as 140.62 support holds.

On the downside, firm break of 140.62 will suggest completion of the rebound and turn bias to the downside.

GBP/JPY’s rebound from 131.51 extended to as high as 144.84 last week and there is no sign of topping yet. Initial bias remains on the upside this week for trendline resistance at around 147.35.

GBP/JPY’s rally is still in progress and intraday bias remains on the upside. Current rise from 131.51 would now target trendline resistance at around 147.56. We’d expect strong resistance from there to limit upside at first attempt. On the downside, below 142.71 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first.

In the bigger picture, corrective medium term rise from 122.36 (2016 low) has completed at 156.69 (2018 high) already. That came after failing to break through 55 month EMA. No change in this view. Strong rebound from 131.51 argues that fall from 156.59 is just the second leg of the corrective pattern from 122.36. Break of 149.38 resistance will confirm the third leg has started to 159.69, and possibly above. Nevertheless, break of 131.51 will pave the way to retest 122.26 low.

GBP/JPY attempts to resume the rebound from 131.51 but cannot sustain above 139.88 resistance so far. Intraday bias remains neutral first. Sustained trading above 139.88 will dampen our bearish view and bring stronger rise to 143.93 resistance next. Nevertheless, reversal from current level, followed by 137.35 support will confirm completion of rebound from 131.51. Intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for retesting 131.51 low.

Sustained break of 139.88 will mix up the outlook and we’ll reassess on the final structure of the rebound from 131.51.

GBP/JPY dips mildly today but stays above 137.35 minor support. Intraday bias remains neutral for the moment. We’d continue to expect strong resistance from 139.88 to limit upside to complete the rebound from 131.51 short term bottom. On the downside, break of 137.35 minor will turn bias to the downside for retesting 131.51 low. However, firm break of 139.88 will extend the rebound to 143.93 resistance next.

GBP/JPY’s rebound from 131.51 tried to extend last week after brief retreat. But it’s limited below 139.88 key resistance so far. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. For now, we’d still expect strong resistance from 139.88 to limit upside. On the downside, break of 137.35 minor will turn bias to the downside for retesting 131.51 low. However, firm break of 139.88 will extend the rebound to 143.93 resistance next.
