Currency Futures Trading: Day Trading Futures Recap 3/4/10
Posted by: Richard Estrada // Category: Currency Futures Trading
Currency traders speculating in the currency futures market are again confronted with extreme short-term volatility. These currency futures markets are definitely not for the meek or anyone who is looking for a passive investment. Currency Futures Trading over the last several weeks have seen some large swings and we may continue to see this kind of volatility as the contracts get ready to rollover.
The March 2010 British Pound Futures contract (see chart daily chart below) was able to rise above the 5-day moving average (red – 1.5022), but was unable to keep that early upside momentum. Once again bulls are faced with late downside pressure and now the question is can the bulls hold the BP above the 5-day moving average and make another upward push, or will the bears regain control?
The March 2010 Canadian Dollar Futures contract (see chart below) shows that the market is still holding above the 5-day moving average (red – .9667), which in my opinion is a pivotal area of technical support. Will the bulls look to launch another upward move from this area, or can the bears counter and push the market back down from here?
The March 2010 Euro Currency Futures contract (see daily chart below) clearly shows that the bears were able to counter this week’s up move in the vicinity of the 25-day moving average (blue – 1.3666). The question now for currency traders tonight is will we see the bear continue to push hard to the downside, or is today’s down move an opportunity for short cover tonight and tomorrow?
The March 2010 Japanese Yen Futures contract (see daily chart) shows that the JY fell hard after making a new weekly high (1.1346). You will notice that the market even pierced the 5-day moving average (red – 1.1246) to the downside, which might instigate some further selling.
