Major Takeaways

  • Main scenario: Consider short positions from corrections below the level of 148.70 with a target of 138.65 – 131.50. A sell signal: the price pierces 148.70 from above. Stop Loss: above 149.50, Take Profit: 138.65 – 131.50.

Main scenario

Consider short positions from corrections below the level of 148.70 with a target of 138.65 – 131.50.

Alternative scenario

Breakout and consolidation above the level of 148.70 will allow the pair to continue rising to the levels of 151.20 – 158.85.

Analysis

The daily time frame shows that the ascending wave of larger degree 3 is presumably formed, and the bearish correction continues developing as the fourth wave 4, within which wave (А) of 4 and the corrective wave (В) of 4 are completed. Wave (C) of 4 is developing on the H4 time frame, within which the third wave 3 of (C) is formed and a correction is completed as the fourth wave 4 of (C). Apparently, the fifth wave 5 of (C) has started to unfold on the H1 chart. If the presumption proves correct, USD/JPY will continue to drop to the levels of 138.65 – 131.50. The level of 148.70 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue growing to the levels of 151.20 – 158.85.




This forecast is based on the Elliott Wave Theory. When developing trading strategies, it is essential to consider fundamental factors, as the market situation can change at any time.
