The article covers the following subjects:

Highlights and key points

  • Main scenario: consider long positions from corrections above the level of 140.92 with a growth target of 165.00 – 170.00. A buy signal: after a breakout above 140.92. Stop Loss: below 140.00, Take Profit: 165.00 – 170.00.
  • Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation below the level of 140.92 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 129.34 – 121.00. A sell signal: after the level of 140.92 is broken to the downside. Stop Loss: above 142.00, Take Profit: 129.34 – 121.00.

Main scenario

Consider long positions above the level of 140.92 with a target of 165.00 – 170.00 once a correction is formed. 

Alternative scenario

Breakout and consolidation below the level of 140.92 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 129.34 – 121.00. 

Analysis

An ascending wave of larger degree C continues forming on the daily chart, with the fifth wave (5) of С unfolding as its part. The third wave of smaller degree 3 of (5) is formed on the H4 chart, and a downside correction is developing as the fourth wave 4 of (5). Wave с of 4 is developing on the H1 chart. If this assumption is correct, the USDJPY pair will continue to grow in wave 5 of (5) to 165.00 – 170.00 once wave с of 4 stops forming. The level of 140.92 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue falling to the levels of 129.34 – 121.00.
