Elliott Wave Analysis: USDJPY Trading Within A Triangle

USDJPY dropped sharply yesterday, well bellow a channel support connected from September low which suggests that market completed a five wave rally up in black wave (c) of C-circled. Decline is also very aggressive, so we believe it's part of a bigger three wave drop that can continue even to 101-102 area for wave D-circled based on an Elliott Wave triangle count.

A Triangle is a common 5 wave pattern labeled A-B-C-D-E that moves counter-trend and is corrective in nature. Triangles move within two channel lines drawn from waves A to C, and from waves B to D. A Triangle is either contracting or expanding depending on whether the channel lines are converging or expanding. Triangles are overlapping five wave affairs that subdivides into 3-3-3-3-3.
