FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for March 13, 2020

GBP/JPY moved to a low of 131.20, just above our target at 131.12. This should have completed wave 2/ and we should see the start of strong rally in wave 3/ to above the peak of wave 1/ at 147.96.

Short-term we are looking for a clear break above resistance at 137.21 to confirm that wave 2/ has completed and wave 3/ is in motion.

Ideally, the low at 131.20 should be able to protect the downside, but if a minor break should be seen, we need to allow for a dip to the 131.12 target before completing wave 2/.
