GBP/JPY is trying to lift up despite the lack of upside momentum. However, as long as minor support at 142.37 is able to protect the downside, we could see a final spike higher to the target at 144.55 to complete red wave v and black wave iii and set the stage for a larger and long-term correction in black wave iv.
As black wave ii was with simple but deep zig-zag correction, we should expect black wave iv to shallow. So, now keep your focus on the upside as long as support at 142.37 is able to protect the upside.
