GBP/JPY Elliott wave count and Fibonacci levels, December 8, 2010

This currency pair is moving within wave C of the medium term uptrend - colored red in the chart. Wave C was confirmed when the price broke above 131.74. Now this wave C consists of A-B-C subwaves with subwave C developing (colored orange red in the chart). The targets of the upmove are Fibonacci retracements of 134.19-129.33, and expansions off 129.33-131.74-129.43, 129.43-130.64-129.51, 129.51-130.75-130.25, 130.25-131.77-131.42.

Resistances:

- 132.26-33.36 = confluence area of expanded objective point (XOP), .618 retracement and contracted objective point (COP)
- 132.68 = super expanded objective point (SXOP)
- 132.94 = objective point (OP)
- 133.33 = XOP

However if the price reverses down the nearest supports will be Fibonacci retracements of the wave up from 129.51 - this wave is not developed yet.

Overbought/Oversold

Assuming that the prevailing trend of this currency pair is up it would be preferable to buy on dips, however the pair has been consolidating for quite a while and even overbought/oversold readings of the Detrended Oscillator should not be used at this moment. Stand aside until the breakout of this micro flat occurs.
