Currently, USD\/JPY is processing through previous support between <strong>139.57 and 141.68<\/strong>. These support levels were formed in August and September 2024. (see yellow horizontal box)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The preferred wave count suggests USDJPY likely breaks this support shelf to stretch down to lower levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the pair is successful in breaking lower, a temporary low would be the finishing touches to wave \u2018iii\u2019 and lead to a bounce in wave \u2018iv\u2019 that may carry it back up to the level of broken support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this would eventually lead to a wave v of (iii) lower that could <strong>target 128<\/strong> and possibly lower levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>USDJPY is falling in wave (iii) of a five-wave impulse decline. Wave (iii) is forecasted to finish below 132 and possibly reach 128.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This forecast would remain valid so long as USDJPY holds below 151.21.
