Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for January 20 - 2020

GBP/JPY is becoming tricky as more alternate counts now is possible. The rally to 144.53 could be the completion of an time-extended b-wave correction and if this is the case, then more downside progress should be expected towards 139.25.

It could be wave i of a new impulsive rally (less likely at this point). If this count is to return to top-priority, then we need for GBP/JPY to break back above resistance at 144.53.
