Daily Pivots: (S1) 144.00; (P) 144.76; (R1) 145.34; More…
GBP/JPY dips to 143.95 so far today and breach of 144.02 suggests fall resumption. Intraday bias is turned back to the downside for 142.76 support first. Break there will extend the decline from 149.48 to 139.29/47 key support zone. On the upside, break of 145.51 resistance is needed to indicate short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain cautiously bearish even in case of recovery.
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.
