USD/JPY: Elliott wave analysis and forecast for 18.10.24 – 25.10.24

The article covers the following subjects:

Highlights and key points

  • Main scenario: after the correction ends, consider short positions below the level of 151.54 with a target of 138.08 – 131.25. A sell signal: if the price holds below 151.54. Stop Loss: above 152.20, Take Profit: 138.08 – 131.25.
  • Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation above the level of 151.54 will allow the pair to continue rising to the levels of 153.88 – 156.74. A buy signal: once the level of 151.54 is broken to the upside. Stop Loss: below 151.00, Take Profit: 153.88 – 156.74.

Main scenario

Consider short positions below the level of 151.54 with a target of 138.08 – 131.25 once the correction is completed. 

Alternative scenario

Breakout and consolidation above the level of 151.54 will allow the pair to continue rising to the levels of 153.88 – 156.74. 

Analysis

The ascending wave of larger degree 3 has presumably finished developing on the daily chart, with wave (5) of 3 formed as its part. On the H4 chart, a descending correction is developing as the fourth wave of larger degree 4, within which wave (А) of 4 is formed and a local corrective wave (В) of 4 is nearing completion. Apparently, wave С of (В) is nearing completion on the H1 chart, within which wave v of C is coming to an end. If this assumption is correct, the USDJPY pair will continue to decline to 138.08 – 131.25 following the correction. The level of 151.54 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue rising to the levels of 153.88 – 156.74.
