FX.co ★ Wave analysis of the USD / JPY currency pair for July 26, 2017

Analysis of the wave counting:

At the beginning of yesterday's European session, the pair USD / JPY resumed the upward movement that had been indicated the day before, having added more than 100 bp in price and stopped at several points from the level of the 112th figure at the end of the day. The current wave situation allows one to assume that the currency pair has attempted to complete the formation of the first wave and designate the beginning of the second wave, as part of the future C, E, (B). If this is the case, the currency pair may continue to grow quotations and at least work out the level of 112.00, or even reach the level of 112.55.

110.77 - 127.2% by Fibonacci

110.20 - 161.8% by Fibonacci

Targets for an upward wave option:

112.09 - 38.2% by Fibonacci

112.55 - 50, 0% by Fibonacci
