<p class="MsoNormal">The <strong>EUR USD</strong> broke below the 5-day moving average (red<span>&nbsp; </span>- 1.2898) and is down over 80 ticks in early trade (see daily chart below). <strong>Commodity traders </strong>who are <strong>day trading futures</strong>, particularly the <strong>Euro Forex Futures</strong> might have been enticed to sell the market once the market fell back through the 5-day moving average last night. The question for <strong>currency traders</strong> now is do they fade the sell-off, or try and jump on the short train in the EUR USD?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The 60-minute chart of the <strong>Euro Currency Futures</strong> (see chart above) shows the market currently trading within a very thin area of volume support (third red rectangle up from the bottom), which is also the only technical buffer before the next level of potential technical support (in the area of 1.2700). Will the bulls be able to hold this area, or will a break below this area entice more short-term selling? How do I define levels and why do we consider levels important.

<p class="MsoNormal">Once again <em>currency traders</em> were very active today as they continued to battle for position. Currency traders who are <em>day trading futures</em>, specifically <em>currency futures</em> have been confronted with large short-term volatility of late and in our opinion makes even the most experienced currency trader tighten up a little. When applying <em>technical analysis</em> in the currency futures market what can we discern from today&rsquo;s price action? Before we answer that question let us take a closer look at the currency futures market.Remember, we are moving into a holiday weekend, which means moves might be even a little more exaggerated because of the potential thinning of currency traders. So if you are <strong>currency futures trading </strong>be vigilant and flexible s things can change very quickly.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>British Pound Futures</strong> (<strong>6B</strong>) contract (see chart below) shows that even though the bears were able to break below a bear flag technical formation (outlined in red) early this week, the bulls have countered and are very close to pushing the British Pound back above the 5-day moving average (red &ndash; 1.4416). This average has been a pretty stiff area of technical resistance and might be a good area to pay attention to tonight.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/a13b707b1133273.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Canadian Dollar Futures</strong> (<strong>6C</strong>) contract (see chart below) shows that the bulls were able to push the Canadian Dollar above the 5-day moving average (red &#8211; .9380) early, but by the close the bears were back in control. The area around the 5-day moving average might turn out to be a good gauge of technical momentum and if the bulls can push the Canadian Dollar back above this average we might see buyers technically enticed. A break below today&rsquo;s low (.9305) and all bets to the long side are off the table at least for the night market session.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/00776dbd6fc1736.jpg" border="0" /> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Euro Currency Futures</strong> (<strong>6E</strong>) contract (see chart below) clearly illustrates the once the bears were able to push the Euro Currency back below the 5-day moving average (red- 1.2328) it has been downhill rather quickly. The Euro Currency is currently trading within an area I consider shallow in volume, which means things can get really nasty if bears want to make a point. I would like to see the market trade back above 1.2162 for a while before even considering a long.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/b005ba911e68a6d.jpg"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Japanese Yen Futures</strong> (<strong>6J</strong>) contract (see chart above) shows that the bulls are testing the 5-day moving average (red &ndash; 1,1136), which I interpret as a sign of potential technical strength. If the bulls can push above this average than we might see another push at the last cycle high (1.1246).<span>&nbsp; </span>Are there other areas of technical support and technical resistance that might be seen when utilizing technical analysis in other time frames?

<p class="MsoNormal">Once again commodity traders <em>day trading futures</em>, specifically <em>currency futures</em> were again either trying to fight the sell-offs in the British Pound, Euro Currency and late sell-off in the Canadian Dollar, or sliding down the slide with the rest of the bears. The Japanese Yen held above a key technical support area and now the question for commodity traders <strong>currency futures trading</strong> is how to interpret today&rsquo;s currency price action? Are we apt to see a bounce somewhere, or just more of the same?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>British Pound Futures</strong> (<strong>6B</strong>) contract (see chart below) shows that the bears slammed this market hard and we&rsquo;ve even opened the new session taking out yesterday&rsquo;s session low (1.4594). The next technical downside target is the low of 1.4476, which if the bears are able to break below then we have entered the technical abyss. The 5-day moving average (1.4769) is still a potential upside retracement target, but the average may come down to the price rather the price pop back to the average.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/c365ddf33a6ce0a.jpg" border="0" /> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Canadian Dollar Futures</strong> (<strong>6C</strong>) contract (see chart below) shows that the bulls were repelled in the vicinity of the 25-day moving average (.9865) today. This morning I wrote that today&rsquo;s close might be a good gauge of technical momentum. Well, the close at the bottom one-third of the daily bar, coupled with the early night market break below the 5-day moving average (.9793) and I interpret this action as technically weak, but remember a push back above the 5-day moving average and today&rsquo;s sell-off could actually turn out to be a technical dip.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/847b327ff7ccb6f.jpg" border="0" /><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Euro Currency Futures</strong> (<strong>6E</strong>) contract shows the bears testing the significant technical low (1.2525), which has since given way since I began writing tonight&rsquo;s recap. You will have to look at the weekly chart to see the next level of technical support, which is the lows around 1.2456. Once again tuff to want to step in front of this train, but for traders willing to take shots to the upside, the potential bounce might be a nice ride.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Japanese Yen Futures</strong> (<strong>6J</strong>) contract (see chart above) shows that the bulls were in complete control today. You will also notice that the bulls were able to close the session above both the 25 (1.0735) and 5 (1.0768) day moving averages. Can the bulls keep the momentum? Are there other areas of technical support and technical resistance that might be seen when utilizing technical analysis in other time frames?

<p class="MsoNormal">Commodity traders area again battling near pivotal areas of technical support and resistance in the <em>currency futures </em>market. The bears seem to be in technical control in the British Pound and Euro Currency, while the bulls are holding on in the Canadian Dollar and pushing in the Japanese Yen. The question for commodity traders <em>day trading futures</em>, specifically currency futures is where are the key levels of technical support and resistance that are important for <strong>currency futures trading</strong>?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 British Pound Futures contract (6B) shows that the bears are in complete control, but after the resignation of England&#8217;s Prime Minister the sell-off can&#8217;t be that suprising. The question for commodity traders today is will the bears look to continue to sell the market, or will the bulls look for technical support and try and counter today&#8217;s sell-off?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/bab4c69f0dc177c.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Canadian Dollar Futures</strong> (<strong>6C</strong>) contract (see chart below) shows that the bulls pushed the market up hard early only to run into stiff technical resistance in the vicinity of the 25-day moving average (blue &#8211; .9874). The question now is today&rsquo;s high (.9891) the high of this current cycle? The close will be something I pay close attention for daily momentum.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Euro Currency Futures</strong> (<strong>6E) </strong>contract (see chart below) shows that the bears continue to push, but bulls are defending in little pockets of intraday technical support. The 5-day moving average (red &#8211; 1.2682) might be a potential upside target if we can find enough technical support to launch a counter from.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/fef628ca2bc0548.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Japanese Yen Futures</strong> (<strong>6J</strong>) contract (see chart above) shows that the bears made a move to the downside, but were quickly overrun by the bulls. You can see that the bulls pushed hard from the low (1.0681) and are currently probing the area around the 5-day moving average (red &ndash; 1.0792). Are there other areas of technical support and technical resistance that might be seen when utilizing <em>technical analysis</em> in other time frames?

<p class="MsoNormal">There is really no word that really describes the <em>currency futures </em>market today. Today&rsquo;s currency action reminded of the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis in which the Japanese Yen Futures contract moved over 800 ticks in one day. The difference from today vs 1997 was we saw extreme moves in all the majors. Commodity traders <em>day trading futures</em> today were probably forced with a lot a tuff decisions and in my opinion, if your&#8217;e trading less than $20,000 the best play is to sit out and wait for things to calm down. Today&rsquo;s currency action is also a clear indication why I believe technical support and technical resistance on longer-time frames can be so technically important. Let&rsquo;s take a step back at look at the bigger picture by assessing the weekly charts.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The weekly chart of the <strong>British Pound Futures</strong> (<strong>6B</strong>) contract (see chart below) shows that the bears were able to break below the bottom of a bear flag technical formation (outlined in red), which might of instigated more technical selling for much larger players. You will also notice that the bears were able to pierce the next cycle low of 1.4778. The question now is how far are the bears willing to push and are the bulls looking to counter from a yet to be determined area of technical support?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/230678bb47c4ee4.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The weekly chart of the <strong>Canadian Dollar Futures</strong> (<strong>6C</strong>) contract (see chart below) shows that the bears broke through the 13-week moving average (blue &#8211; .9759), which had been a pivotal area of technical support. Once the bears were able to break through this area they pushed the bulls all the way down to the 52-week moving average (green &#8211; .9363), which the bulls have been able to hold somewhat. The question for commodity traders is, is this down move a prelude to what&#8217;s to come, or was this move a strategic play to take out stops for traders who have been long for the last 2 or 3 months?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/8208b859b3bd5bf.jpg" border="0" /> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The weekly chart of the <strong>Euro Currency Futures</strong> (<strong>6E</strong>) contract (see chart below) shows that once the bears broke through the bear flag technical formation (outlined in red) the bears were in a free fall. It seems at least to this point they (bears) haven&rsquo;t pulled any ripcord yet. The question for commodity traders now is will we see the bears make a move at the next cycle low of 1.2456, or is that to obvious?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The weekly chart of the <strong>Japanese Yen Futures</strong> (<strong>6J</strong>) contract (see chart above) shows an incredible move to the upside. The move up today at one point was over 600 ticks, so where do we go from here? <span>&nbsp;</span>Are there other areas of technical support and technical resistance that might be seen when utilizing technical analysis in other time frames?

<p class="MsoNormal">Another big day in the <em>currency futures</em> market. <em>Commodity traders</em> day trading currency futures were again witness to some extreme short-term volatility. Commodity traders who are <strong>currency futures trading </strong>are having to either give the currency futures market a little more room, or increase their frequency well maintaining tight stops. The question for commodity traders tonight is the same one we posed yesterday, which was will we see markets like the British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Euro Currency find some short-term technical support and bounce hard, or will the momentum of the week continue to be the way to go?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>British Pound Futures</strong> contract (see chart below) shows that the British Pound Futures (<strong>6B</strong>) continues to test and hold near the bottom of a bull-flag technical formation (outlined in blue). All things considered today the British Pound didn&rsquo;t fare badly, or not as badly as it might have (my opinion). The 5-day moving average (red &ndash; 1.5173) will not only be the initial area of technical resistance area, but also a potential pull-back target.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/8350cf05b6d412d.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Canadian Dollar Futures</strong> contract (see chart below) shows that the bears were not only able to break through the 75-day moving average (green &#8211; .9714), but they (bears) were able to close the Canadian Dollar (<strong>6C</strong>) below this area. The question now is will the bulls look for an area of technical support in the vicinity of the upward channel (outlined in blue), or are the bears looking at another downside target?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/4465c48d021d212.jpg" border="0" /> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010<strong> Euro Currency Futures</strong> contract (see chart below) shows another huge day to the downside. Can you say TIMBERRRRR? The question for commodity traders is will we see a bounce somewhere, or are we believing that the Greece crisis is the potential collapse of the Euro Currency? I tend to speculate that even though this move over the last week is large, on a longer-term time frame the Euro Currency is trading at the same levels as it was a year ago. Therefore, I&rsquo;m looking for areas in the Euro Currency (6E) that might be technical support areas from which a reversal could begin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/c91d14ca0f20037.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/9594244416f6791.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Japanese Yen Futures</strong> contract (see chart above) shows an explosive move up from the bottom of a downward channel (outlined in blue). The bulls were able to push the Japanese Yen above the 5-day moving average (red &ndash;1.0627), which had been a pivotal area of short-term technical resistance. You will also notice that the Japanese Yen (6J) is testing both the 25-day moving average (blue &ndash; 1.0686) and the top of a downward channel. A push through this area and we might some technical buying pressure. Are there other areas of technical support and technical resistance that might be seen when utilizing <em>technical analysis</em> in other time frames?

<p class="MsoNormal">Wow, let me say that again, Wow, what a day in the <em>currency futures</em> market. For commodity traders <em>day trading futures</em>, specifically currency futures we witnessed some huge moves particularly in the Euro Currency Futures market. This is the kind of day that can really punish commodity traders if they don&rsquo;t have good discipline or try to hard to fight the tape. Commodity traders who are wrong here just need to know that as long you did a good job in protecting you equity, (as we refer to as keeping your powder dry) you will have another shot tonight or tomorrow to play for the pop counter traders look for. Let&rsquo;s take a look at the daily charts and see what clues we may get by looking at the technical structure of these currency futures markets.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>British Pound Futures </strong>contract (see top chart of the two charts below) shows that the bears continued to hold the day and actually were able to close the market below the bear flag technical formation (outlined in red). You will also notice very clearly that the 5-day moving average (red &ndash; 1.5239) has crossed below the 25-day moving average (blue &ndash; 1.5315), which is considered technically bearish. The only area of technical support that I can identify on the daily chart would be today&rsquo;s low (1.5088), but when looking back at the daily chart I also am able to define a bull flag technical formation (outlined in blue), which when looking at the weekly chart (bottom chart of two below) is potentially a pivotal area of support longer term. The question is how to trade this technical structure in the British Pound (<strong>6B</strong>)?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/e9d4a6bb3bc7ae6.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Canadian Dollar Futures</strong> contract (see top chart of the two charts below) shows that the bears not only broke through the bottom of double bottom low (yellow eclipse between .9789 &amp; .9805), but also were able to close the Canadian Dollar (<strong>6C</strong>) below this area. The question for commodity traders tonight is are the bears looking to test the bottom of the upward channel (outlined in blue), which would mean a break below the 75-day moving average (green &#8211; .9709), or are the bulls eyeballing an area of technical support that they may consider defending? The weekly chart of the Canadian Dollar (see bottom chart of the two chart below) shows that the Canadian Dollar is currently testing the 13-week moving average (.9775), which has been a pretty pivotal area of technical support since early 2009.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/70de41c5c91499f.jpg" border="0" /> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Euro Currency Futures</strong> contract (see to top chart of the two charts above) shows a bear train headed south in a hurry. I refer to this area as the technical abyss and in looking at either the daily or weekly chart (bottom of chart of the two charts above) of the Euro Currency (6E) I don&rsquo;t see any technical support until the lows around 1.2872. For commodity traders looking at the Euro currency, are there other technical ideas to consider when looking too trade this market tonight?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/5716f60358de328.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/251df26b38e01bb.jpg"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Japanese Yen Futures</strong> contract (see top chart of the two charts above) shows that the bulls were able to defend the bottom of a downward channel (outlined in blue) today. The question for commodity traders tonight is was today&rsquo;s bounce an indication of technical strength? The weekly chart (see bottom chart of the two charts above) shows that the Japanese Yen Futures is still trading in an area I refer to as no mans land, so even if we saw a significant bounce it could be a trap door set by the bears. Are there other areas of technical support and technical resistance that might be seen when utilizing <em>technical analysis </em>in other time frames?

<p class="MsoNormal">Commodity traders <em>day trading futures</em>, specifically <em>currency futures</em> are witnessing some very large moves. The British Pound, Canadian Dollar (6C) and Euro Currency are all down over 100 ticks, while the Japanese Yen broke below a pivotal area of technical support, but has since rebounded. The question for commodity traders <strong>currency futures trading</strong> is how do they navigate this terrain of this kind of volatility? Let&rsquo;s take a closer look at the currency futures market and see what we can deduce when applying <em>technical analysis.</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>British Pound Futures</strong> contract (see chart below) clearly shows that the British Pound (<strong>6B</strong>) has pierced the bottom of a bear flag technical formation. Commodity traders should also note that there is technically nothing below this market until the lows around 1.4772. Remember, on Sunday I wrote that the technical structure of this market looked like the quite before the storm, well today looks like the storm.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/d8d5ba83db8a25e.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Canadian Dollar Futures</strong> contract (see chart below) clearly shows that the bears were able to break through the double bottom low (yellow eclipse between .9789 &amp; .9805) and appear poised to test the 75-day moving average (green &#8211; .9710). Looking at the chart below you will notice that technically this market could pull back to the bottom of the upward channel (outlined in blue) and still be considered technically bullish.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/fd8240473dd5f4d.jpg" border="0" /> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Euro Currency Futures</strong> contract (see chart below) shows that the Euro Currency Futures (<strong>6E</strong>) has broken through a pivotal technical low (1.3117) and basically has entered the daily abyss. To find the next downside target a commodity trader would have to refer to a weekly chart where they would see the lows around 1.2878 as the next potential downside target.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/a4555f960595be5.jpg" border="0" /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Japanese Yen Futures</strong> contract (see chart above) shows the Japanese Yen (6J) pierced a pivotal technical low (1.0558), but has since bounced back from the early low (1.0532). The 5-day moving average (red &ndash; 1.0620) will be a pivotal area of technical resistance and potentially a good gauge of technical strength. Are there other areas of technical support and technical resistance that might be seen when utilizing technical analysis in other time frames?

<p class="MsoNormal">The <strong>EUR USD</strong> has broken through the bottom of a bear flag technical formation on the weekly chart and is down nearly 200 ticks from yesterday&rsquo;s close (1.3345). The 60-minute chart (see chart below) of the EUR USD clearly illustrates that once the market broke into an area of shallow volume (below gray rectangle) the <strong>Euro Forex</strong> picked up steam to the downside. The question for commodity traders <em>day trading futures</em> is a simple one. If you were long eArly today and do consider yourself a day trader then it is my suggestion that long day traders step out of the Euro Futures market even if it means taking bigger then average losses.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Remember, you can always get back in the <strong>EUR USD</strong> if short-term technical indicators turn. It&rsquo;s also my opinion by stepping out of a bad position you will help yourself bring back objectivity to your analysis of the market.

<p class="MsoNormal">Commodity traders <strong>day trading futures</strong>, specifically <em>currency futures</em> are once again very active today. The question for commodity traders day trading currency futures is, are the reversals we are seeing in the British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen opportunities to fade, or are these reversals a prelude of what is to come? Let&rsquo;s take a closer look at the <em>currency futures</em> market and see what we can see when utilizing <em>technical analysis</em> to these markets.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010<strong> British Pound Futures</strong> contract (see chart below) shows that the bears are testing the bottom of a bear flag technical formation (outlined in red) after the bulls failed to get above last week&rsquo;s session high (1.5520). The bears seized the opportunity and have put the bulls on the defensive and the question is will the bears be able to break below the bear flag formation?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/b02f4780c8d8433.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Canadian Dollar Futures</strong> contract (see chart below) shows a significant sell-off after the bears were able to break below the 5-day moving average (red &#8211; .9982), which I had identified as a pivotal area of technical support. The question now is will the bulls defend the area around the 25-day moving average (blue &#8211; .9918), or is this going to be a long squeeze meant to punish commodity traders who were playing for an upside breakout?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/735de1218431400.jpg" border="0" /><!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Euro Currency Futures </strong>contract (see chart below) shows that the bears again defended and seized control in the vicinity of the 5-day moving average (red &ndash; 1.3352). The question for commodity traders day trading the Euro Currency is will we see a bounce from the early low (1.3278), or will the bears make another downward push keeping the bulls on the defensive?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/3c2fa8a917e7cec.jpg" border="0" /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.currencyfuturestrading.org/wp-content/uploads/b30a2999b517c3e.jpg"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The daily chart of the June 2010 <strong>Japanese Yen Futures</strong> contract (see chart above) shows that the Japanese Yen has recovered some lost ground, but has ran into technical resistance in the vicinity of the 5-day moving average (red &ndash; 1.0683). Is this area an opportunity to get short, or was last week&rsquo;s initial break below the bear flag technical formation a bluff to the downside? Are there other areas of technical resistance or technical support that might be seen when utilizing technical analysis in other time frames?
