FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for June 13 - 2019

While EUR/JPY holds bullish tone, GBP/JPY remains under downside pressure. The question remains, whether GBP/JPY needs to make a new low closer to 134.52 to complete wave 2 or wave 2 completed with the test of 136.56. When the new Tory leader is elected, GBP may gain momentum moving higher towards 139.60 and 141.40 as the next minor targets.

A break below support at 136.96 will lead for a dip closer to 134.52, while a direct break above minor resistance at 138.33 will indicate a firm bottom already is in place at 136.56.
