Short on USDJPY, following a potential zig zag

93
Sharing my thoughts and observations on USDJPY - I am working this analysis in two setups: Wave (2)(3)(4)(5) and Wave (3)(a)(b)(4). I consider Wave 3ab4 a subset of impulse 3-4 within Wave 2345. I am treating the setup 2345 as a zig-zag considering that 2-3 is composed by 5 sub-waves (identified in red numbers) and 3-4 is composed by 3 waves (3-a, a-b and b-4). There are three reasons why I tend to believe that impulse 4-5 has started: 1) Divergence between highs a-4 and MACD, RSI and Stochastics, shown in bold light green 2) Wave 3-4 is already within Wave 2-3’s Fibo 50% and 61.8%, shown in pink and 3) Point (4) is located at Fibo Extension 61.8% of 3-a-b, shown in yellow. In this first option the entry point is immediate, with SL at the beginning of the whole setup (Point 2 @112.03) and TP1 @ Point (3) or 104.45, which by the way is the lowest price observed since November 2016. If price breaks this point, then I would aim to TP2 around 101, given that this where Fibo Expansion 100% of 2-3-4 (shown in green) lies (and it is confluent to Fibo 50% of the historical min-max of this currency pair. If price breaks Wave 2-3-4’s Fibo Expansion of 110% then I’d aim to TP3, located at Fibo Expansion 161,8% or close to 92.3, making this setup a perfect zig-zag. A more conservative entry point could be when price breaks and retests the blue line acting as the trend line (support) between 3 and b. We’ll see… happy pip hunting!
