Daily Pivots: (S1) 140.69; (P) 141.03; (R1) 141.32; More…
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY is turned neutral with today’s retreat. Another rise is in favor as long as 139.48 support holds. Above 141.34 will target a test on 141.71 high. On the downside, though, break of 139.48 support will be the first sign of short term reversal. Intraday bias will be turned to the downside for 136.96 support instead.
In the bigger picture, rise from 123.94 is seen as a rising leg of the sideway consolidation pattern from 122.75 (2016 low). 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.
