GBP/JPY drops sharply to as low as 143.03 so far today. Firm break of 143.72 support suggests that whole rebound from 131.51 has completed at 148.87, ahead of 149.98 key resistance. Intraday bias is now on the downside for 38.2% retracement of 131.51 to 148.87 at 142.23 first. Break will target 61.8% retracement at 138.14. On the upside, in case of recovery, near term outlook will stay cautiously bearish as long as 146.50 resistance holds.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that GBP/JPY was rejected by 149.98 key resistance. And medium term fall from 156.59 is still in progress. Break of 131.51 will target 122.36 (2016 low). On the other hand, decisive break of 149.98 should confirm that medium term fall from 156.59 (2018 high) has completed at 131.51 already. Further rally would be seen back to 156.59 resistance and above.
