Australian Dollar H'10 - NEGATIVE SHIFT

** NEUTRAL NEGATIVE EXTREME **

The MAR'10 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR futures contract is on the offer and pressing into the lower extreme for its current digestive pattern and remains on edge below the 9015 Inflection Pivot.

On the SELL side accept REVERSAL strategies over FADE within the 9015-8988 area and 9128 resistance level expecting a return to a trend less trading environment rather than a new negative trend move. Avoid BREAKOUT strategies below 8881 and 8812 but rather FADE into a positive reaction after a negative breakdown signal. The MKT is extended and will have trouble sustaining any new weakness. Use aggressive position management and anticipate potential early exit points to reduce profit give-back.

On the BUY side FADE and REVERSAL strategies off the 8881 and 8812 major support base are qualified however the FADE is a lower probability and should use tight risk criteria. REVERSALs can risk more but should also go for more profit with the expectation of the MKT putting in a short term turning point signal. BREAKOUT strategies above 9015 are aggressive and should just "go" and not look back. Risk less, use aggressive position management and conservative profit limits.

Note: The MKT is in neutral at a technical extreme. Early weakness has the potential to be a good positive REVERSAL opportunity so have a plan and be prepared on any major support failures that happen at the beginning of the session. Remember as well that just because the MKT is extended to the downside does not mean it can get more extended, targeting just below where you would put your stop on any longs.
