Daily Pivots: (S1) 147.58; (P) 148.04; (R1) 148.63; More….
At this point, intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral first. in case corrective rise from 114.97 extends, upside should be limited by 150.92 (50% retracement of 156.59 to 144.97 at 150.78) to bring fall resumption eventually. Below 146.34 minor support will suggest that the recovery has completed. Intraday bias will then be turned back to the downside for 144.97 first. Break will extend the decline from 156.59 to 143.51 medium term fibonacci level next.
In the bigger picture, the case for medium term reversal continues to build up. There is bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. 146.96 support was taken out. And GBP/JPY was rejected by 55 month EMA. Break of 38.2% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 143.51 will pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 135.43 and below. This will now be the preferred case as long as 150.92 resistance holds.
