FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for May 8, 2019

The failure to build on the rally from 143.74 has shifted the alternate count to be our new preferred count. Under this count, we only saw the completion of a triangle wave b at 146.51 peak and wave c of 2 is now in motion. Under this count, wave c should continue lower to 141.05 to complete wave 2 and set the stage for wave 3 higher again.

Resistance is now seen at 143.86 and again at 144.26.

R3: 144.66

R2: 144.26

R1: 143.86

Pivot: 143.74

S1: 143.16

S2: 142.31

S3: 141.75

Trading recommendation:

Our stop+revers at 143.70 has been hit. We need to start by placing our stop all the way up at 145.40. We will take profit at 141.25.
