Analysis
An ascending third wave of larger degree 3 has formed on the weekly chart, and a bearish correction is developing as the fourth wave 4. On the daily time frame, wave (B) of 4 has presumably been completed, and a descending wave (C) of 4 has started to form. On the H4 time frame, the first wave of smaller degree i of 1 of (C) presumably continues developing, within which wave (iii) of i is forming. If the presumption is correct, USD/JPY will continue to decline to the levels of 152.10–145.50. The level of 158.00 is critical in this scenario as a breakout above it will enable the pair to continue rising to the levels of 160.77–165.00.
