CHF/JPY aims $200 from blue box as buyers regain control
|The Yen pairs continue to rise as expected, with bullish cycles from last year appearing incomplete despite being in advanced stages. This presents more opportunities for buyers to enter the market from dips. Specifically, CHFJPY has been in the 3rd wave of a bullish cycle since September 2024. This bullish run is developing as an impulse wave structure within an extended 3rd wave, following the conclusion of the 2nd wave in February 2025. Since then, the 3rd wave has been extending.
In December, wave 3 reached 2.618% of wave 1 from wave 2. However, the divergence from July 2025 has been erased, suggesting further upside potential. Furthermore, the Indices seem to have not completed the bullish cycle from April 2025. Consequently, we maintain a bullish outlook on the Yen pairs. In a bullish sequence, we favor buying at the extremes of 3, 7, and 11 swing pullbacks.
CHF/JPY shorter cycle bullish opportunity – 7th January 2026
In late December, the pair began to pull back. While some may have considered it time to sell against the trend, we remained focused on buying the pullback. It continued through the last week of December and into the first week of January. On January 7, 2026, we identified the pullback structure as a double three corrective setup.
The blue box on the chart indicates the buying zone of 196.105-195.027. Traders entered long positions at 196.10, setting their stop-loss at 195.02, anticipating either a recovery or at least a 3-swing bounce.

The pair reached the blue box, triggering buying interest, and subsequently bounced sharply as anticipated.

This has been a successful trade for all our participating members.
