FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for September 17, 2020

GBP/JPY remains locked inside the sideways consolidation between 135.41 and 136.59 and we will need a break out of this consolidation-area for the next meaningfull move. We prefer a break above resistance at 136.59, but the longer GBP/JPY stays locked inside this sideways consolidation, the risk for a break below support at 135.41 rises for a final spike towards 133.87.

A break above 136.59 will confirm that red wave iv/ has completed and red wave v/ to above 142.72 is in motion.
