GBP/JPY has been accelerating higher without time for even the smallest correction, but we are getting close to the 161.8% extension target for wave iii/ at 150.79. This should ideally cap the upside for a correction in wave iv/ towards 146.64 and ideally closer to 144.04 before turning higher in wave v/ towards 154.99.

Longer-term we continue to look for more upside above the 2018 peak at 156.66.
