Analysis

On the weekly time frame, an ascending third wave of larger degree 3 has formed, a downward correction has been completed as the fourth wave 4, and the fifth wave 5 is developing. Apparently, the first wave of smaller degree (1) of 5 has formed and a bearish correction (2) of 5 is developing on the daily chart. On the H4 time frame, wave A of (2) is unfolding. Within it, wave iii of A has formed, a local correction has been completed as wave iv of A, and wave v of A has started developing. If the presumption is correct, USD/JPY will continue to decline to the levels of 151.76–148.92. The level of 159.00 is critical in this scenario as a breakout above it will enable the pair to continue rising to the levels of 163.90–167.50.
