Overview
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains on the downside for the moment. Overall, we are still favoring the scenario that the consolidation pattern from 180.36 has been completed at 188.79. A deeper decline would be seen to the 180.36/64 support zone. Nevertheless, a break of the 186.33 minor resistance would now dampen our bearish view and turn the focus back to 188.79 instead. The breach of the medium-term trend-line support is taken as a sign of a trend reversal. This is supported by bearish divergence condition in the weekly MACD. Besides, GBP/JPY was close to the key cluster resistance of 61.8% retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 199.80, which is close to the 200 psychological level. A break of 174.86 will confirm a trend reversal and bring a deeper fall to 38.2% retracement of 116.83 to 195.86 at 165.67. In case of another rise, we will be cautious about strong resistance from 199.80/200.00 to bring the reversal finally.
