The article covers the following subjects:

Highlights and key points

  • Main scenario: consider long positions from corrections above the level of 141.66 with a growth target of 165.00 – 170.00. A buy signal: after the price returns above 141.66. Stop Loss: below 140.50, Take Profit: 165.00 – 170.00.
  • Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation below the level of 141.66 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 129.34 – 121.00. A sell signal: after the level of 141.66 is broken to the downside. Stop Loss: above 143.00, Take Profit: 129.34 – 121.00.

Main scenario

Consider long positions from corrections above the level of 141.66 with a target of 165.00 – 170.00.

Alternative scenario

Breakout and consolidation below the level of 141.66 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 completed as the fourth wave 4 of (5). Apparently, the fifth wave 5 of (5) started developing on the H1 time frame, with the wave i of 5 unfolding as its part. If this assumption is correct, the USDJPY pair will continue to rise to 165.00 – 170.00. The level of 141.66 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue declining to the levels of 129.34 – 121.00.
