Main Scenario
Consider short positions below 160.65 with a target of 152.10–145.50 once the correction is completed.
Alternative Scenario
Breakout and consolidation above 160.65 will allow the pair to continue rising to the levels of 163.10–165.00.
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. The first wave of smaller degree i of 1 of (C) is presumably developing on the H4 time frame, with a local corrective wave (ii) of i nearing completion as its part. If the presumption is correct, USD/JPY will continue falling to 152.10–145.50 after the correction is over. The level of 160.65 is critical in this scenario as a breakout above it will enable the pair to continue rising to the levels of 163.10–165.00.
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.
