7/18/2008 – USD/JPY – Price action on the USD/JPY 4-hour chart, as shown, has just hit significant resistance near the top of a short-term parallel downtrend channel (in red). This approach of resistance occurs after an impressive run-up from a key 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support level. Confirming a possible waning of upward momentum near resistance are oscillators like the displayed Stochastics, which are on the border of emerging down from overbought. In the event of a continued bounce down off resistance, the next support to the downside resides around the 105.50 region. Any true breakout above this resistance, on the other hand, would meet major additional resistance around the 108.50 region.

FX Solutions, LLC believes that customers should be aware of the risks associated with over-the-counter, spot Forex. Forex trading is highly speculative in nature which can mean currency prices may become extremely volatile. Forex trading is highly leveraged, since low margin deposits normally are required, an extremely high degree of leverage is obtainable in foreign exchange trading. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited. You may sustain a total loss of your funds. Since the possibility of losing your entire cash balance does exist, speculation in the Forex market should only be conducted with risk capital you can afford to lose which will not dramatically impact your lifestyle.
