MARCH EURO–12/16/2009

The March Euro is up 23 ticks at 1.4546 this morning as I write.  The included chart shows that the March Euro looks very weak on the chart, as prices are trading and closing below the 5 to 90 day moving averages and below key uptrend lines.  The directional movement indicators are bearish and the ADX line is rising confirming the strength of this downtrend.  The commentary from the Fed after their meeting today could be a market mover later today.  I recommend staying with our current positions for now.

 Followers should also be long one March Euro (1.3850 strike) put from 121 ticks and short 2 March Euro (1.3400 strike) put options from 67 ticks each for an overall credit of 13 ticks or $162.50 gross.

You should also be long one March Euro (1.5750 strike) call option at 134 ticks and short 2 March Euro (1.6100 strike) calls at 75 ticks each or $937.50 each. 

You should also be short one March Euro futures contract form 1.4769, and short one March Euro (1.5100 strike) put at 535 ticks, or $6687.50.

 March Euro options expire in 79 days.
