Pro Commentary Lite … 4th June 2008 … USDJPY
An excerpt from Pro Commentary
Price: 105.18
| Resistance: | 105.35 | 105.54 | 105.86 | 106.25 |
| Support: | 104.80 | 104.50 | 104.20 | 103.86 |

| Bias: | While 104.80 remains intact we should see extension higher above 105.50-86 and towards 106.82 |
| Daily Bullish: | We did see one more dip yesterday but the bounce from 103.86 was quite decisive. It is encouraging for the expectation of a move to the 106.82 target although I have to say the manner of the rally is not 100% clear. Right now while 104.80 continues to support I still see room for additional gains through 105.54 and thereupon 105.86 en route 106.25 and 106.55-82. There is plus an additional target at 107.00. With a daily bearish divergence already in place that 106.60-00 area should supply a cap. |
| MT Bullish: | 29th May: The 106.82 target is back on track and while the 105.68-00 area should initially cause a pullback the next rally should hit the 106.82 retracement target which should cap or force stronger gains to 107.36-78. |
| Daily Bearish: | Yesterday’s losses stalled at the top of the 103.62-84 support and provided a lift. whether there is any weakness in the bullish view thereupon it is that |
| MT Bearish: | 4th June: The short term is a little uncertain and I’d still prefer to see a tryout of 106.82 first but any earlier break below 103.46-86 would open up a stronger reversal back to the 102.56-72 lows again. |
ELLIOTT WAVE COMMENTS

4th June
It looks as whether yesterday’s 103.86 low provided the low in Wave (b) being a 61.8% retracement. A wave equality target in Wave (c) rests at 107.00 and just 18 points above the daily 50% retracement in Wave (iv) at 106.82.
I would prefer to see that directly but whether the 104.80 support fails it opens up two possible alternatives.
First could be a sideways (triangle?) Wave (b.) The second could in fact a deeper recycling of Wave (b) to the 76.4% retracement at 103.46.
Thus we need to exercise some care at that stage but until 103.40 and 102.56-72 breaks the upside still looks more likely.
