USD/JPY Ready For One Last Push Higher
EWM Interactive | Aug 27, 2015 05:23AM ET
“USD/JPY might lose another 400-500 pips in wave 4 of (5), before wave 5 of (5) to the upside begins. You might want to wait a while, before buying this dip.” This is an excerpt from “USD/JPY Right On Track In 2015″, which we published on July 9th, 2015, when USD/JPY was trading near 121.50. In other words, we were expecting the pair to visit the area between 117.50 and 116.50. The chart below shows how the forecast looked like back then.
Soon as the article was published, the pair rose to 125.28. However, the top 125.85 was never touched. Instead, USD/JPY started falling as expected. On August 24th, the “Black Monday”, the dollar plunged to as low as 116.15 against the Japanese yen. This is 35 pips beyond our second target. Not bad at all. The Elliott Wave Principle proved its value once again. An updated chart is given below.
By the way, note where the recent sell-off in wave 4 of (5) ended – precisely at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. It turns out the market is mathematically organized, even in the panics, huh?
From now on, USD/JPY should continue higher in the face of the anticipated wave 5 of (5). Naturally, the bulls are supposed to take the pair above the previous high of 125.85, unless a truncation occurs.
