USD/JPY: Wave analysis and forecast for 19/10/2018 – 26/10/2018

The pair USD/JPY is still likely to grow. Estimated pivot point is at a level of 111.60.

Main scenario: long positions will be relevant above the level of 111.60 with a target of 115.00 – 116.50.

Alternative scenario: breakout and consolidation below the level of 111.60 will allow the pair to continue declining to a level of 109.76.

Analysis: Supposedly, the wave (C) of B of senior level continues developing on the daily timeframe. On the 4-hour time frame, presumably the wave 3 of (C) is developing, with the wave i of 3 forming inside. Apparently, a local correction of junior level in the form of wave (iv) of i finished forming on the H1 time frame and the wave (v) of i started developing. If the presumption is correct, the pair will continue to rise to the levels of 115.00 – 116.50. The level 111.60 is critical in this scenario.
