Why is this? Is there a rational explanation that makes good sense? In my opinion, it's because of the broad universe of decision-making minds and the slave role the futures play to a much larger cash market. Think about it, the whole world participates in the pricing of currencies 24 hours a day 7 days a week. When a new trend emerges you have individuals, companies and governments that are impacted and it may take months to unfold before a trend pauses significantly. The same can be said for interest rate futures. Compare them to tangible commodity markets and you'll quickly see a huge fundamental difference. For example, take the grains for instance. You've got a handful of big commercial players like Cargill, ADM, GPC and a several large commodity funds and then thousands of small speculators. The funds and speculators react to price trends and momentum and pretty much see the same things within a one to two day period. The commercials all have access to the same fundamental data and act quickly move in concert to hedge. News such as weather forecasts and technical factors are quickly discounted and then there's nothing left to drive the trend. You then get some profit taking or light hedging coming in and you get a volatile market that oscillates above and below it's 40-day ma. I recommend trading the currencies and interest rates on a longer term position trading basis, utilizing some form of a lagging exit. The CTS TrendSetter has proven this technique effective over the past 20 years. (And by the way, CTS TrendSetter is now included in our new GOLD package on ctsTrader.com). On the other hand, when trading other markets, I like to use a swing trading approach designed to take profits at targets. The other dimension that's critical, is aiming for a high percentage of winners. Since these markets rarely sustain big tradeable moves, it pays to take profits after short term swings, which leads to a high percentage of winners. This inturn lowers the risk of having a large consecutive losing streak and that leads to longevity. I like this approach so much that we built a dedicated Swing Trader advisory service just for Bond & Currency Trading. Food for thought. Let's get ready for a great week! N P.S.

Then I'm looking at potential support from the 40 Day at about 10867 and the strong bullish trend of that 40 Day. We could see a slide down to that 40 day, but it should act as support. We might expect a strong bounce upwards from this level of important support. A key tool that adds much confidence is our exclusive "breadth" indicator known as the CTS PowerTrend rating. It is currently at +11. We update the PowerTrend rating every day in the CTS Dow Selector and watching it can give you a powerful snapshot of short-term strength (or weakness) of the DOW (we also have the PowerTrend on the Futures, NASDAQ, and S&P Selectors too!). July cotton has tried to correct some of the recent decline. A very weak market, with weak intra market spreads. The price pattern takes the shape of a bear flag. A move below support of 41.50, points to 37.50. (We also cover key resistance levels in today's Daily Trend Watch in the Advisory menu, Futures, Daily Trend Watch at ctsTrader.com.
