This pattern terminated at 158.87 on January 10.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this high, price action has transitioned into a clear bearish motive wave, suggesting a trend reversal from up to down has begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Minuette degree, we have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wave (i) bottoming at 146.54 after a clean five-wave decline.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wave (ii) retraced sharply into the 151.15 area in late March and held below the 158.87 high, preserving the impulsive structure.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wave (iii) appears to be in progress, currently extending below the 143 handle, with strong downside momentum evidenced with the lowest RSI reading in 8 months.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At the smaller degree of trend within wave (3), subwaves \u2460 and \u2461 appear to be in place. Wave \u2462 should begin to accelerate lower if this wave labeling is correct. The RSI reading should continue to hold lower levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current downtrend appears to have a ways to go. Zooming out, a <a href=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/education\/indicators\/fibonacci-extensions\/\">Fibonacci extension<\/a> of wave ((i)) projected from the end of wave ((ii)) gives a 1.618 target around <strong>128<\/strong>. We anticipate wave (iii) to make the most progress towards 128.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>USD\/JPY is in the throes of a developing bearish impulse, with strong downside continuation expected. We anticipate USDJPY to hold below 146.54 <a href=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/education\/guides\/support-and-resistance\/\">resistance<\/a> as the down trend pushes towards 128. Prices above 146.54 will force us to reconsider the current wave count plus other alternate wave counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>You might be interested in:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-alchemy-markets wp-block-embed-alchemy-markets\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/alchemymarkets.wpengine.com\/education\/market-insights\/elliott-wave\/eur-usd-nearing-end-of-first-subwave\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USDJPY Elliott Wave forecast shows a bearish impulse unfolding.
