USDJPY – descending highs threaten long & short-term uptrends

The correction from 96.71 in JPY is more complex than the triangle that we’ve outlined over the past weeks and the triple divergence between price and RSI suggests that this a larger degree consolidation following a complete 5 wave rally from 77-96.71. This pullback can target the previous 4th wave consolidation lows which also align with a cluster of Fibonacci retracements at 90.85. (ch1) S/t, prices are threatening to break two key uptrends at 93.85 &93.60 respectively; these trends are important because they have been tested repeatedly since November and January. A close below 93.60 leaves a vacuum of support down to the February low at 90.88; he descending highs and pivot lows at 93.57/53 suggest that a break is likely. In order to neutralize this bearish pattern, a break of the 94.91 high is needed. Going forward, the key range for the next larger move is 94.91/93.53. (ch2) Levels: Support – 93.85, 93.60, 93.53 Resistance – 94.91, 95.50, 96.13
