GBP/JPY is breaking above minor resistance at 140.51 indicating that the wave 2 has completed and the wave 3 higher is developing. In the short-term, minor support at 140.18 will be able to protect the downside for a firm breakout above minor resistance at 140.51 and, more importantly, a breakout above resistance at 141.74 for a continued upward movement to 142.21 and 143.72 as the next minor hurdles on the way towards 151.50.

At no point can a breakout below support at 139.63 be allowed as it will call for more downside pressure.
