GBP/JPY’s break of 163.67 minor resistance suggests that pull back from 168.40 has completed at 159.59 already. Intraday bias is back on the upside for retesting 168.40 first. Firm break there will resume larger up trend. On the downside, in case of another fall, downside should be contained by 61.8% retracement of 150.95 to 168.40 at 157.61 to bring rebound.
In the bigger picture, up trend from 123.94 (2020 low) is still in progress. Sustained break of 61.8% retracement of 195.86 (2015 high) to 122.75 (2016 low) at 167.93 will be a long term bullish signal, and could pave the way back to 195.86 high. This will now remain the favored case as long as 150.95 support holds, even in case of deep pull back.
