MAR '11 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ** NEUTRAL POSITIVE EXTREME **
- The MKT is in a neutral digest in an underlying positive MKT and will need to generate a positive push today if it is to avoid falling back into a corrective trade.
- On the Sell side REVERSAL strategies off the UP will work best as any unsustained positive signal is expected to provide a sharp negative reaction. FADE strategies off the UP are valid as well. BREAKOUT strategies below the DP have potential with the more conservative opportunity a FADE strategy against the DIR after a DP failure signal.
- On the Buy side FADE and REVERSAL strategies are recommended off the DP, especially if the previous session low point remains intact. BREAKOUT strategies above the UP are better to be used as a signal for a DIR entry. If they are going to follow through, either strategy should hold structure after an entry resistance breach . Any break under the DIR and the market will be vulnerable to drop back into a digestive trade.
