FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for September 18, 2020

The pair declined after the prolonged sideways consolidation between 135.41 and 136.59. We saw a clear break below support at 135.41 for a dip to 134.50 to test the channel-support. This support held well. We need a break back above resistance at 136.59 to confirm that red wave iv/ finally has completed and red wave v/ can take hold for a new impulsive rally. It should break above the former peak at 142.72.

Trading recommendation:
