USD/JPY’s four-hour chart shows 158.471, testing the marked 61.8% retracement area. The count places x at 158.950, where C completed an ending diagonal with subdivisions (1)–(5). Price subsequently broke the diagonal’s lower boundary. The current rebound may precede renewed weakness toward approximately 157.250. That remains a projection; exceeding 158.950 would challenge the proposed completion of x.
