EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 126.99; (P) 127.67; (R1) 128.08;
EUR/JPY is staying above 16.63 minor support and intraday bias remains neutral first. Break of 126.62 will resume the fall from 130.33 and target a test on 124.61 low. This will also affirm the case that larger decline from 137.49 is still in progress. On the upside, break of 130.33 resistance will confirm resumption of rise from 124.61. That will also revive the case of near term reversal and turn bias to the upside for 133.47 key resistance.
In the bigger picture, despite rebounding strongly ahead of 124.08 resistance turned support, there was no clear follow through buying. Note again that there is bearish divergence in daily MACD. Firm break of 124.08 will confirm trend reversal. That is, whole rise from 109.03 (2016 low) has completed at 137.49 already. In that case, deeper fall should be seen back to 61.8% retracement of 109.03 to 137.49 at 119.90 and below. Nonetheless, decisive break of 133.47 key resistance will likely extend the rise from 109.03 through 137.49 high.
GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 144.18; (P) 144.96; (R1) 145.40;
Break of 144.37 supports indicates resumption of fall from 148.10. Intraday bias is turned to the downside for 143.18 support first. Firm break there will resume larger decline from 156.59 and target 139.25/47 cluster support level. On the upside, above 146.63 minor resistance will target 148.10 instead.
In the bigger picture, no change in the view that decline from 156.59 is a corrective move. In case of another fall, strong support should be seen above 139.29 cluster support (50% retracement of 122.36 to 156.59 at 139.47) to contain downside and bring rebound. Meanwhile, break of 153.84 should confirm that the correction is completed and target 156.59 and above to resume the medium term up trend.
