FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for May 24, 2019

GBP/JPY continues to move closer to the 61.8% corrective target at 137.53 which is expected to make a low for the wave 2 and set the stage for the next impulsive rally in the wave 3 to above the peak of March 14 at 148.87.

At this point, a direct breakout above minor resistance at 140.00 and, more importantly, a breakout above 141.74 will confirm that the wave 2 has completed and the wave 3 is developing.
