GBP/JPY’s correction from 148.09 extended sharply lower. Based on downside acceleration, the fall might extend through 38.2% retracement of 135.58 to 148.09 at 143.31 to 61.8% retracement at 140.35. On the upside, above 145.78 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 148.09 first. Overall, we’d still expect the rise from 122.36 to resume after to 150.42 long term fibonacci level.
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.
