Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains mildly on the upside for the moment. Further rise would be seen to 136.34 resistance first. Break there will confirm completion of pull back from 139.73 and bring retest of this high. On the downside, break of 131.95 support would resume the decline through 131.68 to 129.27 key support.
In the bigger picture, we’re seeing price actions from 122.75 (2016 low) as a sideway consolidation pattern. As long as 147.95 resistance holds, an eventual downside breakout remains in favor. However, firm break of 147.95 will raise the chance of long term bullish reversal. Focus will then be turned to 156.59 resistance for confirmation.
