Daily Pivots: (S1) 144.23; (P) 144.67; (R1) 145.37; More….
GBP/JPY’s rise continued and reached 145.11 so far, breaching 144.77 resistance. The cross continued to lose upside momentum as seen in 4 hour MACD but there is no clear sign of topping yet. Hence, further rise is still expected. As noted before, consolidation pattern from 148.42 has completed at 135.58, ahead of 135.39 medium term fibonacci level. Sustained trading above 144.77 should then resume the whole rebound from 122.36 through 148.42 resistance. On the downside, though, break of 143.79 minor support will bring pull back to 4 hour 55 EMA (now at 142.62) and below, before staging another rally.
In the bigger picture, based on current momentum, rise from 122.36 bottom should be developing into a medium term move. Break of 38.2% retracement of 195.86 to 122.36 at 150.42 should pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 167.78. This will now be the favored case as long as 135.58 support holds.
