FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for January 3, 2019

EUR/JPY collapsed in overnight trading pushing way below the long-term target at 123.66. Did this collapse invalidate wave (E) of the long-term triangle consolidation? No it did not. To do that a break below support at 109.48 will be needed.

The deep decline of course raises doubt whether wave (E) already has completed or more downside pressure to below 118.82 should be expected? as wave C became a 161.8% extension of wave A we will count wave C and (E) as complete and will look for short-term corrective decline to 120.05 followed by a new impulsive rally above 122.26 to confirm a long-term low is in place.
