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.

NAT GAS - POSITIVE TRANSITION

** JAN'10 NAT GAS - NEUTRAL TRANSITION **
The MKT is in a NEUTRAL TRANSITION technical posture with the potential for a positive turn. Opportunity exists on both sides however there is a better chance of acceleration to the upside if the integrity of the 5.134 Inflection Pivot remains intact.

On the SELL side avoid FADE strategies until after the 5.134 level has been broken to confirm a shift in momentum. Until then a better opportunity will be a REVERSAL strategy but only off the 5.440 resistance level. This is a one shot trade using a low risk big profit target criteria. The idea is that the transition trade is over and a negative shift back into a NEUTRAL DIGESTION is expected. SELL BREAKOUT strategies under 5.134 can be profitable but they are aggressive and should use the same aggressive position management as a REVERSAL. Risk less go for more.

On the BUY side accept BREAKOUT, FADE and REVERSAL strategies with the expectation that the current negative to positive transition will continue. Keep aggressive position management on BREAKOUT strategies above 5.440 as the MKT is still in the neutral zone and has yet to commit to a new trend. A more conservative strategy would be to wait for negative reactions after a positive signal to FADE against 5.287 or 5.134. The trade should be fluid with the MKT immediately taking back lost ground after any downside squeeze.

Note: The MKT is trying to shift from a negative to a positive trend position. False starts and stops should be expected and position management adjustment anticipated, as quick momentum turns are the norm in this technical environment.

FOREX - EURGBP - BEAR TREND ACCEELRATION SIGNAL

Technically the EURGBP is in a BEAR TREND ACCELERATION position and is vulnerable to the offer. Any positive corrective action is expected to be short lived with only one upside "stop squeeze" if the negative moemtnum is going to play out. Any held strength and repeated probe higher is a sign that the trade will turn digestive. This does not take away from the negative bias but does limit the profit potential for any new sales in the session.



Key off the 9021 Inflection Pivot for an indication of the session tone and confirmation of the negative signal.

On the SELL side accept FADE, REVERSAL and BREAKOUT strategies against the 9021 Inflection Pivot and below the Friday's high at 9071. BREAKDOWN strategies should just "go" BELOW 8978, so do not risk much. FADE strategies are recommended over REVERSAL strategies as the MKT is expected to hold lower structure and any momentum shift should be considered a potential positive corrective turn.

On the BUY side avoid REVERSAL strategies off major support levels as these signals are more likely short squeeze rallies and opportunities to SELL into and FADE. BREAKOUT strategies above the 9021 are aggressive as it is a counter trend trade, so risk less and use smaller size. Any BUY FADE should have confirmation and are not recommended if the integrity of the 9021 Inflection Pivot level is intact. After a break in the negative structure is confirmed support levels can be used for short term reactions using aggressive position management.

Note: The MKT is in an aggressive sell posture. If the intergrity of the 9021 Inflection Pivot is intact its just a matter of time before the sellers try to overwhelm the MKT. Look for excuses to get short. If the 9021 level is breached opportunity will be on both sides of the MKT, however the bias still rests with the Bears.

Positive Signal - DOW FUTURES H'10

** BULL TREND ACCELERATION **

Technically the MAR'10 DOW FUTURES is in a BULL TREND ACCELERATION posture and has produced a big positive signal. The MKT should "run" to a new level if the signal is valid.

Key off the 10262 Inflection Pivot as the sentiment bias for this signal.

On the SELL side REVERSAL strategies can be executed at the 10570 and 10686 extremes following an exhaustive signal. Expectations should be for an immediate exhaustive turn with the MKT quickly moving away from the area. A gradual decline following a reversal signal and it is more likely just a pause before another round of buying, so lock in any unrealized gains. SELL FADE strategies against 10416 and 10570 have potential but wait for repeated tests, with the best opportunity not violating the resistance level. Consider rolling long on any stops with this strategy. SELL BREAKOUT strategies below 10262 are not recommended but can be used as a signal for a FADE against Directional resistance at 10339.

On the BUY side accept FADE, REVERSAL and BREAKOUT strategies above the previous session's low point or 10262 Inflection Pivot. BREAKOUT strategies above 10416 early in the session may have issues holding structure, so respect any break in momentum. BUY FADE strategies off 10262 are recommended over REVERSAL strategies as the MKT is expected to hold higher structure and any failure should be considered a potential negative corrective shift. The MKT is aggressively bid which should keep pace throughout the session if the TREND ACCELERATION forecast is going to play out.

Note: The worst-case scenario for a MKT in this technical position is to go higher early in the session and then break all day. Be alert and recognize this. If you have > 3 loser long trades, consider taking the next sell signal, anticipating a corrective turn. Remember in this technical position if the MKT is going higher, it should just go. If not, there is the potential for a corrective break or digestive trading environment.

Good Trading.

BULL TREND ACCELERATION SIGNAL - Japanese Yen H'10 Futures

** BULL TREND ACCELERATION **


Technically the Mar'10 JAPANESE YEN contract is in a BULL TREND ACCELERATION posture after producing a big positive signal. The MKT should "run" to a new level if the signal is valid.



Key off the 11305 Inflection Pivot for a guide to the session sentiment.

On the SELL side REVERSAL strategies can be executed at the 11494 and 11588 resistance extremes following an exhaustive signal. Expectations should be for an immediate exhaustive turn with the MKT quickly moving away from the area. A gradual decline following a reversal signal and it is more likely just a pause before another round of buying, so lock in any unrealized gains. SELL FADE strategies at 11368 potential but wait for repeated tests, with the best opportunity not violating the resistance level. Consider rolling long on any stops with this strategy. SELL BREAKOUT strategies below 11242 are aggressive, with a better opportunity a FADE against the 11305 Infelction Pivot after a breakdown signal.


On the BUY side accept FADE, REVERSAL and BREAKOUT strategies above the 11179-11164 support area. BREAKOUT strategies above 11368 early in the session may have issues holding structure, so respect any break in momentum. BUY FADE strategies off 11242 are recommended over REVERSAL strategies as the MKT is expected to hold higher structure and any failure should be considered a potential negative corrective shift. The MKT is aggressively bid which should keep pace throughout the session if the TREND ACCELERATION forecast is going to play out.

Note: The worst-case scenario for a MKT in this technical position is to go higher early in the session and then break all day. Be alert and recognize this. If you have > 3 loser long trades, consider taking the next sell signal, anticipating a corrective turn. Remember in this technical position if the MKT is going higher, it should just go. If not, there is the potential for a corrective break or digestive trading environment.
