Daily Forex Update: USD/JPY

 | Sep 19, 2013 05:27AM ET

Autochartist recently identified the Flag chart pattern on the daily USD/JPY charts – as you can see from the next trade opportunity alert for this currency pair. The pair is expected to break this Flag and then to fall to the target level 96.81 in the following 6 trading days. The stop-level for this forecast is set at 100.595 (point B, the top of this chart pattern). This point formed earlier – when the pair failed to approach the strong resistance area made out of the long-term resistance level 102.00 (previous multi-year support which had reversed the pair sharply up in 2000 and in 2005), the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement of the preceding monthly downward impulse from 2007 as well as the monthly upper Bollinger Band (as you can see on the second chart below).
