The USDJPY has rallied as expected but failed to reach even the 38.2% of the 5 wave decline (104.15).  With such little retrace (and with a sentiment extreme in place…see COT), we subjectively favor the idea that a larger more complex correction is underway.  If this is the case, then the subwaves will be 3-3-5; a flat.  In a flat, wave B (in this case X), will retrace most if not all of A.  Therefore, a test of the 101.40 low is certainly possible before the rally in wave Y completes the correction.  The 61.8% of 101.40-103.58 at 102.24 is potential support.

STRATEGY: EXIT LONG
