USDJPY: Now That The Dust Has Settled..Wave (iii) Is NOT Over!

Wow! Now that's what I call a drop! A very nice one if you caught the move. In my previous post on this pair, I said that there was a MAJOR TREND CHANGE occurring (see Related Ideas: "ANALYSIS: USDJPY: MAJOR Trend Change Forthcoming?") and also pointed out 2 patterns that were showing the way down (see Related Ideas: "TRADE: USDJPY:2 LONG-TERM Patterns Could Yield 1000+ pips"). This recent price action is supportive of the MAJOR TREND CHANGE occurring.

Here's the weekly chart I posted last week about this trend change:

And the DAILY Chart showing what I was expecting to happen at that time and what I am expecting to happen:

WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW
Right now, we should be in the wave (iii) of (v) of that wave A decline you see in the Weekly Chart above. Within the wave (iii), prices have just finished wave (3) and is now consolidating in a wave (iv). Wave (iv) should take prices back up to the TP1 and maybe TP2 of the completed bat pattern. Then wave (v) should resume the downtrend to complete the POTENTIAL bullish crab pattern and wave (iii) before reversing back up in a wave (iv).

MY TRADING PLAN
I am net LONG in my positions right now on this pair looking for the wave (iv) retrace up to the TP1 of the bat. At that point, I will close all LONGS and be net SHORT. I will watch the price action and be looking for another opportunity to add to my SHORT positions for further price declines in a wave (v).
