USD/CAD Fridays action supported our earlier conclusion that the long-term downtrend appears to be ready to resume. As long as the market stays under 1.008, expectations are for more selling to push it to .9716. Buyers may surface at this price to trigger another short-covering rally. Shorts have to arrive with conviction next week on selling through .9872 otherwise the market may begin a sideways drift. Regaining .9960 may put the market back in a somewhat friendly tone. A trade through 1.008 indicates 1.017 is next.

NZD/USD The NZD remained strong against the USD as it broke out above resistance at .7936. Based on its rectangular pattern it appears to be set up for a retest of highs at .8107. Following this breakout, the market may retrace slightly inside of the old tops before moving higher. The trend remains up unless .7365 is violated.

AUD/USD The strong follow through rally from the .8511 bottom on 1/22/08 took out near term resistance at .9017. The market regained an important 50% price at .8958 making this price new support. The next upside target is the .618 retracement at .9063. Further strength will be evidenced by a break out through this level, thereby setting up more upside with .9399 the next upside target.

DISCLAIMER: Forex (off-exchange foreign currency futures and options or FX) trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The value of currencies may fluctuate and investors may lose all or more than their original investments. Risks also include, but are not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price and/or liquidity of a currency. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. Prices in the underlying cash or physical markets do not necessarily move in tandem with futures and options prices. The leveraged nature of FX trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds and such may work against you as well as for you. In no event should the content of this correspondence be construed as an express or implied promise or guarantee from B.I.G. Forex, LLC and Brewer Investment Group, LLC or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates that you will profit or that losses can or will be limited in any manner whatsoever. Loss-limiting strategies such as stop loss orders may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of positions such as "spread" or "straddle" trades may be just as risky as simple long and short positions. Past results are no indication of future performance. Information contained in this correspondence is intended for informational purposes only and was obtained from sources believed to be reliable.
