Yen Again

Chart speaks for itself.

 

Crudewire Oct 12,   "The Japanese Yen is also at a significant juncture. After correcting up vs. USD in an ABC structure lasting TEN  years, the Yen topped out Jan09 and came off in a clean 5 waves to April 09. Since then it's gained against the USD in a series of abc's that has taken it nearly back to last Dec.'s highs.  Call that waves 1 down  and 2 back up (or a and b).
If the Yen is beginning a 3 wave down after finishing a TEN yr. move up , the downside  potential gets really intresting; for instance the move down in the mid 90's was from 125 to 68 , so IF this leg is a 3 or C down AND it equals A you're talking about it losing half it's value vs USD. 

Hard to imagine right now.  But then the unimaginable seems to be happening more frequently."
