Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for February 19, 2019

Posted On 19 Feb 2019

Key-resistance at 143.03 has capped the rally from 141.04, which keeps wave ii/ alive. The rally to 143.03 could be an x-wave calling for a final zig-zag decline in wave z towards support in the 140.35 – 140.67 to complete wave ii and set the stage for the next impulsive rally.

The second option is that an ending diagonal is developing as wave c/ of y/ of ii/. The target in both cases will be almost identical, but the later option is of course the more complicated pattern of the two, so for now we will try to track the decline to the support-zone between 140.35 – 140.67 as well as possible.

R3: 143.86

R2: 143.34

R1: 143.03

Pivot: 142.50

S1: 141.79

S2: 141.35

S3: 140.98

Trading recommendation:

We sold GBP at 142.65 with our stop+reverse placed at 143.10. We will take profit+reverse at 140.75.
