The article covers the following subjects:
Major Takeaways

- Alternative scenario: Breakout and consolidation below the level of 142.50 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 138.53 – 131.38. A sell signal: the level of 142.50 is broken to the downside. Stop Loss: above 142.50, Take Profit: 138.53 – 131.38.
Main Scenario
Consider long positions above the level of 142.50 with a target of 154.80 – 158.85 once a correction is formed.
Alternative Scenario
Breakout and consolidation below the level of 142.50 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 138.53 – 131.38.
Analysis
On the weekly timeframe, an ascending wave of larger degree 3 has formed, and a downward correction appears to have completed as the fourth wave 4. On the daily time frame, the fifth wave 5 has presumably started forming, with wave (1) of 5 developing as its part. The first wave of smaller degree 1 of (1) appears to have formed on the H4 chart, and a local correction is developing as the second wave 2 of (1). If the presumption is correct, USD/JPY will continue to rise to the levels of 154.80 – 158.85 after the correction ends. The level of 142.50 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue falling to the levels of 138.53 – 131.38.
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.
