FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for October 10, 2019

GBP/JPY is respecting the support-line from 126.67 nicely, but we need a clear break above short-term key-resistance at 132.24 to confirm that red wave ii finally has completed and red wave iii is developing towards 139.15.

That said, the rally of the 130.40 is not a clear cut impulsive move, so we will remain cautiously positive for more upside pressure as long as minor support at 130.70 and more importantly as long as support at 130.40 is able to protect the downside. A break below 130.70 will be a clear warning that red wave ii still is in motion and renewed downside pressure should be expected short-term. However, the potential downside should remain limited to 129.59
