There Is An Attempt To Form A Head And Shoulders Pattern On The USD/JPY Charts



USD/JPY failed to break out above 110.90 – 111.00 and the FOMC Meeting Minutes announcement yesterday served as a catalyst of an impressive move to the downside to the support at 109.50, which is a little above the 61.8% Fibo of the rally from 108.729 to 110.947.

At same time one can notice that the pair is forming a head and shoulders pattern on the H4 time frame which is not finished yet.

At the support on the H4 time frame there is also a bullish bar, which is a possible signal for a rally.
The head and shoulders pattern will be confirmed only if the pair does break out above 111.00. I think if there is such a confirmation and it reaches its limit we could expect a rally to 113.00.

In the alternate scenario there will be a drop and a test of the support at at 109.00 - 108.70.
