FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for February 5 - 2020

As we suspected, wave iv rose slightly above minor resistance at 120.42. The peak at 120.99 should be enough to complete wave iv and set the stage for the final decline in wave v towards the 118.85 -119.24 target-zone. This should complete the correction in wave 2 and mark the beginning of a new impulsive rally in wave 3.

In the short term, a break below support at 120.42 (former resistance turns into support) will confirm that wave iv has completed and wave v is developing.
