GPB/JPY And EUR/JPY Daily Outlook: October 25, 2012

Daily Pivots: (S1) 127.36; (P) 127.72; (R1) 128.34

The break of 128.20 suggests that rebound from 124.72 is resuming. Intraday bias is back on the upside for 128.82 first. Break will confirm resumption of whole rally from 118.82 and would target 133.48 resistance next. On the downside, below 127.09 will suggest that consolidation from 128.82 is still in progress and has started another falling leg.

In the bigger picture, at this point, we'd like to maintain that price actions from 116.83 (2011 low) are corrective in nature so far. Rise from 118.82 could be the third leg of the pattern from 116.83 and might target 133.48 and above. But this is far from being certain. After all, the likely scenario is that we'll see more range trading between 116.83 and 140.02 (50% retracement of 163.05 to 116.83 at 139.94) ahead, before an eventual downside breakout. We'll favor this view as long as 140.02 resistance holds.

EUR/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 103.06; (P) 103.44; (R1) 103.90

Consolidation from 104.58 is still in progress and another fall might be seen. But after all, near-term outlook will stay bullish as long as 100.14 support holds and we'd expect another rally ahead. Above 104.58 should target 111.43 key resistance.

In the bigger picture, we're favoring the case that whole downtrend from 169.96 (3008) has completed at 94.11 already, on bullish convergence condition in weekly MACD. Focus is now on 111.43 key resistance level. Break will confirm this bullish case and bring further medium-term rise to 123.31 and above (38.2% retracement of 169.96 to 94.11 at 123.08). And, we'd favor this bullish scenario as long as 100.14 support holds. Though, considering that EUR/JPY can't take out 55 weeks EMA decisively yet, break of 100.14 will favor another low below 94.11 instead.
