CHF

The assumed test of the key resistance range within the previous trading session has not been confirmed but further activity fall leaves earlier composed trading plans almost without changes so we assume a possibility of pair return to resistance range 1.0280/1.0300, where it is recommended to evaluate the activity development according to the charts of shorter time interval. For short-term sales on condition of formation of topping signals the targets will be 1.0220/40, 1.0180/1.0200 and/or further breakout variant up to 1.0120/40, 1.0080/1.0100. An alternative for buyers will be above 1.0320 with the targets 1.0360/80, 1.0400/20.

GBP

The assumed test of the key resistance range has not been confirmed but the preservation of low activity parity of both parties according to the version of OsMA indicator version gives grounds to preserve the principle of planning of trading operations without clearness in a choice of priorities and calculations for further range movement of the rate. Hence we assume a possibility of pair return to supports 1.9760/80, where it is recommended to evaluate the activity development according to the charts of shorter time interval. For short-term buyers' positions on condition of formation of topping signals the targets will be 1.9820/40, 1.9880/1.9900 and/or further breakout variant up to 1.9990/80, 2.0000/20. An alternative for sales will be below 1.9720 with the targets 1.9650/70, 1.9580/1.9600.

JPY

The assumed test of the key resistance range has been confirmed with conditions for realization of the pre-planned short positions. Nevertheless taking into account the absence of firm development of bearish activity there are the risks of further rate correction with attainment of 103.80/90 with the necessity to evaluate the current situation concerning elimination of unprofitable positions or strengthen short positions. In this case for short-term sales the targets will be 103.40/50, 103.00/10 and/or further breakout variant up to 102.60/70, 102.10/30, 101.70/90. An alternative for buyers will be above 104.20 with the targets 104.60/80, 105.20/40, 105.80/106.00.

EUR

Earlier opened short positions have not attained the assumed target but further activity fall of both parties as a feature of further sideway / range movement of the rate without clearness in a choice of planning priorities does not contradict to further keeping of short position. Hence and taking into account some situation change in a short-term future, we assume a possibility of pair return to supports 1.5740/60, where it is recommended to evaluate the activity development according to the charts of shorter time interval. For short-term buyers' positions on condition of formation of topping signals the targets will be 1.5800/20 and/or further breakout variant up to 1.5860/80, 1.5940/60, 1.6000/20. An alternative for sales will be below 1.5680 with the targets 1.5620/40, 1.5560/80, 1.5500/20.

FOREX : Foreign Exchange Market

FOREX is a word play on the term Foreign Exchange Market. It is a market for buying and selling of currencies from all over the world. Certainly, such transactions are bound to be voluminous. It is just an estimate that there are about transactions of $1.5 trillion USD on a daily basis in the FOREX. Now just compare this with the paltry $300 billion USD a day transactions for the US Treasury Bond and the $100 billion a day transactions for the US Stock Exchange.

The FOREX came into existence in 1971 when the fixed currency exchanges were abolished. Currencies no longer had fixed values after that; on the contrary, their rates (mostly taken in comparison with the USD) were fluctuating, and changed on a daily basis. Throughout the seventies and the eighties the FOREX grew steadily, showing more advancement in the later years. The market has stupendously grown from $70 billion USD a day to the staggering amount that it transacts today on a daily basis.

There are actually about five thousand trading institutions in the FOREX. These include international banks, central government banks such as the US Federal Reserve, and commercial companies and brokers for all types of foreign currency exchange. The best thing that shows the unbiased nature of the FOREX market is that it has no fixed headquarters anywhere – it operates primarily from all major cities like New York, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, Frankfurt, etc. One can even use the telephone or the internet to make the transactions. The major businesses at the FOREX are the buying and selling of products in other countries. Several transactions are also conducted from the currency brokers or traders who stand to make small profits with the daily fluctuations in the market.

Most of the FOREX business is centered on big banks and financial institutions, but it doesn’t mean that the FOREX is inaccessible to small investors. The recent changes in the financial regulations have effectuated this accessibility. Earlier, a minimum transaction size was required to conduct business with the FOREX. But the current rules have made it possible to break large inter-bank units into smaller bits. Each bit is worth as less as $100,000. This makes it possible to each individual investor through loans that are extended for trading, known as leverage. The ratio to control the lots is 100:1. This means, every $1000 USD will allow one to control $100,000 on the FOREX.

The benefits of trading with the FOREX are mentioned below:-

(1) Liquidity of Investments – As the FOREX is a huge market, the funds have a very high degree of liquidity. This is because of the presence of the international banks who provide their bids and carry out a large number of transactions on a daily basis. Therefore, there is always a buyer or seller for any type of currency.

(2) Highest Degree of Accessibility – The FOREX is open 24 hours a day for 5 days a week. Every Monday morning the exchange opens at Australian Standard Time and closes on Friday afternoon at New York time. Greater accessibility is provided because the transactions can be conducted from the person’s home or office.

(3) Open Market – At the FOREX, there are no secrets. All the fluctuations that occur in the market are made accessible to everyone at the same time. There is no insider trading in the FOREX.

(4) No Commission – There is no hassle of paying commission to the brokers in the FOREX. Here the brokers earn by setting up a difference between the buying price and the selling price of a currency, which is known as a spread.

It must be understood by now that for the FOREX to work effectively, the currencies must always be traded in pairs. For instance, the Japanese yen must be traded against the euro. When one kind of currency is sold, there should be another to be bought in its stead.

The profit happens because there is always mobility between the different currencies. Even if there is a miniscule change in the exchange rate, then it could mean substantial changes in the profits due to the large amount of money involved in the transactions. People are thronging to the FOREX and not any other institution due to the trust that they have in it. To add to the advantage, the market is absolutely well-advanced and uses sophisticated software for dealing out its transactions.
