GBPJPY had raised through 139.00 levels recently, before pulling back below 138.00 levels. The currency might be wanting to test resistance around 139.75, before producing a meaningful resistance. Looking bearish below 139.75 levels, going forward.

GBPJPY probable wave counts are as follows: The currency had earlier dropped from 148.00 through 124.00 levels respectively. The drop was retraced up to fibonacci 0.618 levels around 139.75 in early June 2020. The peak is seen on the chart presented here.

Ideally, GBPJPY should stay below 139.75 highs and reverse lower towards 124.00 and beyond in the coming weeks. Looking into the lower degree wave counts since 139.75, the currency had dropped through 132.00 mark sub dividing into 5 waves.
