Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for December 10 - 2019

GBP/JPY is in the final stage of red wave v and black wave iii. Red wave v will make a final pop to 144.55 to complete red wave v and black wave iii before starting a more long-term correction in black wave iv. As black wave ii was a simple zig-zag correction, we should expect a more complex correction in black wave iv. It can be either some kind of flat correction or a triangle. Because of the expected complex nature of the correction in wave iv, it is not a good strategy to sell if the 144.55 target is hit.

Support is seen at 141.70 which is expected to protect the downside for the final pop higher.
