Analysis of wave counting:

During the Friday's trading, the currency pair USD / JPY continued its slow development of the upward movement, adding about 50 percentage points in price and managed to work out the mark of 107.85 in the second half of the day. Thus, the emerging wave situation allows us to assume that after overcoming the maximum reached on April 13 (107.75), the currency pair resumed the formation, which took a very long time in the form of wave c, 4, C, C, (B). If this is so, then before the beginning of the future wave 5, C, C, (B), the currency pair can continue the growth of quotations and test the level of the 108th figure.

The objectives for the option with an upward wave:

108.10 - 38.2% of Fibonacci

The wave 4 took on a very complicated form and could complete its construction near the estimated level of 106.77, which corresponds to 23.6% of Fibonacci, after the end of wave 5, c, 4. The divergence of MACD indicates a readiness to decline.
