USD/JPY Elliott Wave
For the last few days the USD/JPY pair was trading in a sideways move, corrective 4 wave (coloured blue) of the bigger (A) wave (coloured green) was developing. Yesterday during the European session we could observe price trading between 81.33 and 81.10 level. Therefore, during the New York session this major pair started pushing higher and price reached 81.42 level. We can consider this move as the end of the (B) wave (coloured purple) of the bigger 4 wave. Today the USD/JPY pair is trading around 81.20 level and we are expecting to see the price at 80.62 soon. In accordance with our wave rules and taking into account that the wave C should retrace 161.8% of the wave A, we can define the potential targets with measuring wave A with take profit at 80.62 (161.8% of wave A). To reduce the risk, we can use invalidation at 81.43 level as stop loss.

Trading Forecast
Proceeding from Elliott Wave rules today, the trend is expected to begin the downward movement. That is why short positions at level 81.10 with stop loss 81.43 and take profit at 80.62 are recommended.
