USDJPY: Corrective Retracement Suggests More Gains Ahead

A decline from 125.82 occurs in three waves and three minor sub waves in A, so we think that the pair is in a big downward corrective retracement. Ideally, that is a flat with an extended wave C to the 116 area, where it might already accomplished wave (4), so traders should not be surprised by a move back to the highs by the end of the year.

On the 4h chart, USDJPY fell sharply 48 hours back through the 118.57 level. Therefore it seems that a triangle that we have been tracking over the last few weeks was only in wave (b) of an incomplete black wave B/2 of a higher degree, that hit the 61.8% Fibonacci level. The price action is already turning up from there so ideally, the pair will turn back to a bullish mode now. An overlap with 119.62 will confirm a new impulse up for wave C/3, above 121.70.
