GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 149.11; (P) 149.60; (R1) 150.06;
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains on the upside as rebound from 146.92 is in progress for 152.82 high. Firm break there will confirm resumption of medium term rise from 122.36 and target 163.87 resistance next. On the downside, break of 149.11 minor support will turn bias to the downside and extend the correction from 152.82. In that case, we'd expect strong support from 61.8% retracement of 139.29 to 152.82 at 144.45 to bring rebound.
In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 122.36 is still expected to resume after corrective pull back from 152.82 completes. Firm break of 38.2% retracement of 196.85 to 122.36 at 150.43 will carry long term bullish implications. In that case, GBP/JPY could target 61.8% retracement at 167.78. However, break of 139.29 will indicate rejection from 150.43 key fibonacci level. And the three wave corrective structure of rebound from 122.36 will argue that larger down trend is resuming for a new low below 122.26.
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 133.90; (P) 134.20; (R1) 134.64;
EUR/JPY's breach of 134.39 resistance argues that medium term rally is resuming. Intraday bias is cautiously on the upside. Sustained trading above 134.39 will confirm and target 141.04 long term resistance. However, break of 133.74 minor support will dampen this view and turn bias back to the downside for 131.65 support instead.
In the bigger picture, medium term rise from 109.03 (2016 low) is seen as at the same degree as the down trend from 149.76 (2014 high) to 109.03 (2016 low). 61.8% retracement of 149.76 to 109.03 at 134.20 is already met. Sustained break there will pave the way to key long term resistance zone at 141.04/149.76. However, break of 127.55 support will argue that the medium term trend has reversed and will turn outlook bearish for deeper fall.
