FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for February 13, 2019

GBP/JPY has now broken above minor resistance at 142.63 confirming that wave iv/ completed with the test of 141.12 and wave v/ higher to 151.50 now is developing.

The first hurdle to look for is seen at 144.18, but a clear break above here will just add to our preferred count that wave v/ is unfolding and headed higher towards the 161.8% extension target for wave iii at 151.50.

Support is now seen at the former resistance at 142.63, which ideally will protect the downside for the rally to and above 144.18.
