The USD/JPY broke higher last week, out of a triangle pattern that we have been tracking since mid-April. This triangle has been placed in wave four, so we must be aware of a bearish reversal in the next few days/weeks; this type of patterns always occurs prior to the final move of the larger trend. So current leg up should be our final leg; most-likely wave 5 of an ending diagonal. However, each leg in ending diagonal should be sub-divided at least by three waves, so that current pull-back is probably wave (b) with wave (c) yet to come - and that could hit the 103.00/103.50 level. After a completed ending diagonal we will be looking for a sharp reversal lower. A fall back beneath 100 would be a first but important sign for a completed ending diagonal and weaker prices ahead.

The EUR/USD fell sharply last week, closing well below 1.3034 swing low support which puts bearish price action in play. In fact, a decline from 1.3195 was very strong and sharp, which in many cases represents an impulsive wave and direction of a trend. As such, we need to respect this price action so it’s better to stick to the downtrend and look for possible short entries.

From an Elliott Wave perspective we are tracking one-two, one-two set-up with sub-wave (ii) now underway to 1.3020/50 resistance area.

The reason why the bearish price action could continue is a broken channel line on the Daily chart as shown below. We would turn bullish again only if the 1.3130 level is passed.
