Hello fellow traders.  In this technical blog we’re going to take a quick look at the Elliott Wave charts of GBPJPY, published in members area of the website.  As our members know, the pair had incomplete bearish sequence in the cycle from the January 28th peak. The Elliott wave structure had been calling for further weakness.  Consequently, we advised members to avoid buying the pair and keep on favouring the short side, selling the rallies in the sequences of 3,7,or 11 swings whenever opportunity presented itself. In further text we’re going to explain how we called the pair lower and look at the Elliott wave structure.

GBPJPY Daily Elliott Wave Analysis 12.29.2018

Break of August 15th low made the cycle from the January peak incomplete to the downside. The pair is now bearish against the 149.7 peak and we’re calling for further decline. As we can see on the chart below , the pair is seating at the 0.618 Fibonacci extension , making sideways consolidation.  The pair has scope to reach 133.34-129.41 area before buyers apear again for 3 wave bounce at least.  We don’t recommend buying it against the main bearish trend and favour the short side as far as 149.7 pivot holds.
