Hot Market Report – Canadian Dollar

by JS Services

MAR '11 Canadian Dollar ** NEUTRAL CORRECTION **

   - Technically the MKT has produced a positive signal against a negative trend. On the SELL side accept BREAKOUT, FADE and REVERSAL strategies off major inflection points with the expectation that the negative momentum is going to resume. UP REVERSAL strategies are recommended over a FADE, which should have at least 1 if not 2 challenges to its integrity before executing a short sale against it. A better approach to a straight DP BREAKOUT strategy is to FADE a positive "squeeze" reaction after a negative breakdown signal against the DIR.

   - On the BUY side avoid DIR and DP FADE strategies until after the previous session high point or major resistance has been taken out to confirm a break in momentum. Until then, a better opportunity will be a DP REVERSAL strategy. UP BUY BREAKOUT strategies can be profitable but they are aggressive and should look to take profits and potentially REVERSE short at resistance targets.
