Currency Traders trading currency futures today watched the British Pound Futures explode through the 5-day moving average, whilel the Japanese Yen Futures tumbled from the same 5-day moving average. The Canadian Dollar was once again was rather quiet, well the Euro Currency again tested the 25-day moving average. What did technical cues can we get from today’s action that traders day trading currency futures might be able to use Sunday and or Monday of next week?

The weekly chart of the British Pound Futures (see chart below) clearly shows today’s close is back towards the top one-third of the bar, which in my opinion is technically bullish. Though, the 4-week moving average (red – 1.5378) is still a formidable area of technical resistance.

The weekly chart of the Canadian Dollar Futures (see chart below) shows that the bulls were able to push this market higher this week, but failed to take out the next cycle high of .9798. Thinking strategically, what looks like a certainty is almost never a certainty especially when talking about currency futures trading, of course this is just an opinion of mine? Will the bulls look to make a play for .9798 on Sunday night or Monday, or will some bold bears look for a potential market reversal?

The weekly chart of the Euro Currency Futures (see chart below) shows that the bulls were able to close the Euro Currency above the 4-week moving average (red – 1.3620), which might be considered somewhat of bullish indication. You also notice that the lows around .13433 are very close the .618% fibonacci retracement line (1.34820). An open above the 4-week moving average on Sunday might encourage some technical upside momentum, which could lead to an aggressive up being that there might be a lot of weak shorts in late.

The weekly chart of the Japanese Yen Futures (see chart below) shows that the bears were able to push this market down over 150 ticks from its’ weekly high (1.1346). This market is trading back at the 4 (red – 1.1089) and 13-week (blue – 1.1042)-moving averages, which in my opinion makes this area a pivotal technical area on Sunday night. A break below this area and the bears might me in position to make a technical move, well a hold in this puts the bears on the defensive.

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 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.
