Daily Pivots: (S1) 148.51; (P) 148.88; (R1) 149.43; More…
GBP/JPY retreats mildly ahead of 149.70 resistance. With 4 hour MACD crossed below signal line, intraday bias is turned neutral first. As long as 142.76 support holds, further rally is in favor. On the upside, decisive break of 149.70 will resume whole rise from 139.88 and target 153.84/156.59 resistance zone. On the downside, below 146.28 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for 142.76 instead.
In the bigger picture, as long as 139.29 cluster support (50% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 139.47) holds, up trend from 122.36 (2016 low) would still extend beyond 156.69 high. However, decisive break of 139.29/47 will suggest that such up trend is completed and turn outlook bearish. In that case, next target is 61.8% retracement at 135.43.
