There has been a lot of noise recently about the strengthening Yen. On Friday, the currency pair has closed marginally…

In this case study of USD/YEN, I will show you how one could have used an extending fifth wave to prepare for a profitable trade. Let me start by asserting that the main goal of any trader is to identify low-risk trading opportunities before a move actually takes place. Once such a trading opportunity is identified, one should be patient for the right moment to pull the trigger. Elliott wave analysis offers one very clear trading set up that invariably produces impressive winners.

Its been a while since I posted a Yen chart. We have been running into some selling at 96.23. Considering that the low seen earlier today was 94.50, even this is a strong move. Part of the credit for the recovery goes to the Japanese Finance Minister who said that rapid forex moves was undesirable for economy. and there is a need to avoid rapid forex moves at all cost.

Anyone who has traded the Yen knows that it is a different animal from the rest of the pack. But there is one undeniable fact about this currency, it is a trending currency. Once it sets off on a trend, it stays with that trend for a long time.

Sooner or later we are going to get a corrective bounce in USD/YEN. But the downtrend is still strong and we should be willing to try shorts at key levels. If we surge higher today, then you can sell above 101.70 with stops at 101.88.
