Analysis
The ascending wave of larger degree 3 has presumably finished developing on the daily chart, with wave (5) of 3 formed as its part. On the H4 chart, a descending correction is developing as the fourth wave of larger degree 4, within which wave (А) of 4 is formed and a local corrective wave (В) of 4 is presumably completed. Apparently, wave (С) of 4 started unfolding on the H1 time frame. If the presumption is correct, the USDJPY pair will continue to drop to the levels of 138.08 – 131.25. The level of 153.83 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue rising to the levels of 156.74 – 161.70.
