Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

AUDUSD short-term Elliott wave view suggests that the bounce to 0.7455 high ended intermediate wave (B). Down from there, the pair has broken to new lows confirming the intermediate wave (C) lower. The internals of the decline is unfolding as impulse where Minor wave 1, 3 & 5 are expected to unfold in 5 waves structure. While Minor wave 2 & 4 can be can be any 3 wave corrective pattern i.e either double, triple three etc.

Down from 0.7455 high, Minor wave 1 is proposed complete at 0.7201 low. The internals of that decline showing sub-division of 5 waves structure in lesser degree cycles. Where Minute wave ((i)) ended in 5 waves structure at 0.7431. The Minute wave ((ii)) bounce ended at 0.7445. Then Minute wave ((iii)) ended at 0.7249 low in lesser degree 5 waves structure. Up from there, the bounce to 0.7299 high ended Minute wave ((iv)). Below from there, the decline to 0.7201 low ended Minute wave ((v)) in lesser degree 5 waves structure and also completed Minor wave 1 of (C). Above from there, the pair is doing a Minor wave 2 recovery & expected to fail in 3, 7 or 11 swings as far as a pivot at 0.7455 high stays intact for further downside. We don’t like buying the pair & prefer more downside against 0.7455 high.

USD/JPY reverses a dip below 156.00 as focus shifts to BoJ

USD/JPY is reversing a brief dip below 156.00 in the Asian session on Thursday, looking to snap a three-day winning streak to a nearly two-week top set the previous day.
