Main Scenario

Consider long positions from corrections above 159.83 with a target of 165.00–170.00.

Alternative Scenario

Breakout and consolidation below 159.83 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 158.90–158.00.

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. On the daily chart, the third wave of smaller degree (3) of 5 appears to be developing, with wave 3 of (3) forming as its part. Wave i of 3 has formed on the H4 chart, and wave ii of 3 has presumably been completed as a local correction. If the presumption is correct, USD/JPY will continue to rise to 165.00–170.00 within wave iii of 3. The level of 159.83 is critical in this scenario as a breakout below it will enable the asset to continue declining to the levels of 158.90–158.00.

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.
