The previous chart exposes the downward advance of wave (B) in blue, which began once the cross topped at 156.608. In this context, wave (B) internal structure seems like a double-three pattern of Minor degree labeled in green, which currently advances in its wave Y.

Likewise, the lower degree sequence shows the progress in its incomplete wave ((c)) of Minute degree identified in black, which began in early September 2020 when the price found fresh sellers at 142.714.

According to the textbook, the wave ((c)) in progress should follow an internal sequence subdivided into five waves. In this context, the lower degree structure of GBPJPY might move in its second wave (ii) of Minuette degree labeled in blue. Thus, completing this corrective rally should give way to a new decline corresponding to wave (iii).

The new decline’s potential bearish target corresponding to wave (iii) in blue locates in the demand zone between 130.808 and 129.298. On the other hand, the downward scenario’s invalidation finds at the top of the wave (i) at 142.714, corresponding to the last September 01st high.

In summary, the GBPJPY cross advances in an incomplete sideways corrective formation, which its internal structure suggests the progress in a complex double-three pattern. The lower degree structure exposes the advance of wave (ii), which seems incomplete.

Finally, the bearish scenario forecasted will be invalid if the price surpasses and closes above 142.714.
