Analysis of wave counting:

As expected, during the Friday's trading, the pair USD / JPY continued to develop the upward movement, having added about 120 percentage points in price and halted before the level of 110.50 in the afternoon. Thus, we can assume that the currency pair, as before, was in the stage of formation of the 1st wave, as part of the future wave c, a, (C), while practically completing its internal 3rd wave. If this is so, then before the beginning of the wave 5, 1, c, a, (C), the currency pair can be adjusted to the area of marks 109.40-109.30. At the same time, as it was mentioned earlier, the probability of the currency pair's lowering of the quotes renewal, with the prospect of transforming the wave c, b, a, (C) into a full five-wave structure, has not lost its relevance.
