USD/JPY Wave analysis and forecast for 20.01 – 27.01: Downtrend continues.

Estimated pivot point is at the level of 116.19.

Our opinion: Sell the pair from correction below the level of 116.19 with the target of 113.80 – 111.58.

Alternative scenario: Breakout and consolidation of the price above the level of 116.19 will trigger further rise to 117.55.

Analysis: Presumably, the formation of the wave (С) continues, within which the first wave has been formed. Locally, it is likely that the upward correction as the wave ii is being formed, within which an impetus (a) has been formed and the wave (b) is being developed. If this assumption is correct, the pair may go down to 113.80 – 111.58. Critical level for this scenario is 116.19.
