USD/JPY - 103.08.… Although the greenback ratcheted lower initially last week after climbing to a 6-month high of 103.38 (Tue), decline in the Nikkei fm 6-year highs prompted broad-based buying of yen n pressured price to 101.62 b4 rallying strongly back to 102.97 on Fri, n then 103.22 in Australia today.

[B]WEEKLY ELLIOTT WAVE ANALYSIS ON USD/JPY
19 Dec 2013[/B] [I]15:44GMT[/I]

. USD/JPY - 104.15 … Dollar’s rally abv this year’s high at 103.74 (May)
confirms an upside break of the ‘triangle’ consolidation fm there has ended
earlier at 93.75 n LT rise fm record low at 75.32 (Oct 2011) has resumed for
further gain to 105.51 n then twds 107.06 in Q1 2014.

. Our labelling of the low at 79.75 major wave [3] trough n 147.64 is the
major wave [4] terminus. The decline fm 147.64 is the ‘final’ wave [5] which has
’possibly’ ended at 75.32 in Oct 2011, the subsequent rally is an impulsive wave
with 1::75.32-84.18; 2:77.13 n we are taking the view that wave 3 has ended at
103.74 n wave 4 ended with a triangle with a:103.74-93.78, b:101.53, c:95.79:
d:100.62 n e:96.55 n wave 5 is now in progress for further gain to 107.06, being
50% projection of 77.13-103.74 measured fm 93.75 later this month or in Q1 2014.

   On the downside, only below 101.53 (b-leg top) wud signal a temp. top is  

made n risk retrace. to 100.00 but strg buying interest shud emerge well abv
daily sup at 96.55.
