FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for May 11, 2021

GBP/JPY is moving higher as expected towards the 155.46 target to complete wave iii/ and this should set the stage for a correction in wave iv/ close to the 149.05-150.10 target. This could happen before the price takes off again to eclipse the peak of wave iii/ towards 162.96 as the next long-term target.

The short-term support is seen at 153.43 and again at 153.09. Ideally the later one will be able to act as a floor for the expected rally towards 155.46.

Trading recommendation:

Take profit is near 155.46 or upon a break below 153.09.
