Analysis
An ascending fifth wave of larger degree 5 is developing on the weekly chart, with wave (1) of 5 forming as its part. Apparently, the third wave of smaller degree 3 of (1) has formed on the daily chart, and a correction has been completed as the fourth wave 4 of (1). On the H4 chart, the fifth wave 5 of (1) appears to be unfolding. Within this structure, a local correction is completed as wave ii of 5, and wave iii of 5 has begun developing. If the presumption is correct, USD/JPY will continue to rise to the levels of 161.00–163.00. The level of 157.93 is critical in this scenario as a breakout below it will enable the pair to continue declining to the levels of 156.07–155.17.
