Alternative scenario

Analysis

An ascending wave of larger degree 3 has presumably finished developing on the weekly chart, with wave (5) of 3 formed as its part. A bearish correction has started developing as the fourth wave of larger degree 4 on the daily chart, with wave (А) of 4 forming as its part. Apparently, wave 3 of (А) is unfolding, with a local corrective wave iv of 3 have being concluded as its part on the H4 time frame. If the presumption is correct, the USDJPY pair will continue declining within wave v of 3 to the levels of 131.25 – 123.97. The level of 147.30 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue rising to the levels of 155.22 – 161.75.
