GBP/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 139.92; (P) 140.75; (R1) 142.33;
GBP/JPY's rebound from 138.65 extends higher to but and break of near term falling channel suggests reversal. Focus is back on 142.75 minor resistance. Break will confirm and turn bias to the upside for retesting 148.09. Below 138.65 will extend the fall from 148.09. In that case, we'd look for bottoming signal around 135.58, which is close to 135.39 fibonacci level, to bring rebound.
In the bigger picture, while the fall from 148.09 is deeper than expected, we're not bearish in the cross yet. Price action from 148.42 is possibly developing into a sideway pattern with fall from 148.09 as the third leg. Deeper decline could be seen but we're looking for strong support from 135.58 and 50% retracement of 122.36 to 148.42 at 135.39 to contain downside. Rise from 122.36 is still mildly in favor to resume at a later stage. However, sustained break of 135.58/39 will confirm reversal and target a retest on 122.36 low.
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 122.78; (P) 123.25; (R1) 124.10;
EUR/JPY drew support from 55 day EMA and recovered. Intraday bias is turned back to the upside for retesting 125.80/126.09 resistance zone. Break of 126.09 will extend the whole rebound from 109.03 to 100% projection of 109.03 to 124.08 from 114.84 at 129.89. In case of another fall, we'd still expect strong support from 38.2% retracement of 114.84 to 125.80 at 121.61 to bring rebound and then rise resumption.
In the bigger picture, focus is staying on 126.09 support turned resistance. Decisive break there will confirm completion of the down trend from 149.76. And in such case, rise from 109.20 is at the same degree and should target 141.04 resistance and above. Meanwhile, rejection from 126.09 and break of 114.84 will extend the fall from 149.76 through 109.20 low.
