The pair is giving a daily correction, which is forming as a Elliott Wave Double Three pattern. The pull back looks incomplete at the moment. Our analysis forecasts more short term weakness in GBPJPY toward the 186.879-179.111  area ( blue box).

Despite the expected extension lower, we advise against selling GBP/JPY against the main bullish trend.  Once the pair reaches this blue box area, we expect it to attract buyers. We can see either rally towards new highs or a corrective bounce in three waves at least. Once the bounce reaches the 50% Fibonacci retracement level against the connector high -((X)) black, we’ll secure our position by moving the stop-loss to breakeven.  To safeguard our trade, we’ll closely monitor for any break below the marked invalidation level :179.111  .

A quick reminder:

Our charts are designed for simplicity and ease of trading:

• Red bearish stamp + blue box = Selling Setup.
• Green bullish stamp + blue box = Buying Setup.
• Charts with Black stamps are deemed non-tradable.

The pair found buyers within the Blue Box area as expected. We got a nice rally from our buying zone. The bounce has exceeded the 50% Fibonacci retracement level against the connector peak.  As a result, traders who entered long positions are now enjoying risk-free profits. With the price holding above the  180.32 low, we expect to see more strength in another leg up against the 208.12 peak at least.
