It's the Harmonic Elliott Wave Impulse Wave Count.
[After each 'ab' Wave there is a 5 wave 'c' Wave.
Only 'a' Waves and 'c' Waves are 5 wave moves,
the rest are corrections.]

It's interesting that USD/JPY did not advance to the extent of the other majors. There seems to be a lack of USD/JPY buyers ~ 50 pips up from where price is now. And given that other majors are sitting at major supports, it seems a USD pullback is nigh. However, it all depends on prevailing market conditions next wk IMO.

If there is still a lack of liquidity, there could be unchallenged follow-through IMO.

What I see is that there will be some follow-through, until liquidity fully picks up, + there is just no reason for anything else atm IMO.

But, when this (inevitable) pullback hits, it will hit hard - it may be on the back of FOMC event - if they surprise.

{quote} Not really. Some yen strength.

That at is really what I'm getting at, in the face of obvious dollar strength yen still holding, suggest to me perhaps greater yen strength than expected (my expectations I should say)

still im im only taking longs at the moment
