0119 GMT [Dow Jones] Technical analysts have spotted a potentially lucrative trading pattern for Australian retailer Myer (MYR.AU). "While Myer has not been our favourite in the sector, because of its down-trodden price, we can see a trading opportunity for those happy to deal with a little risk," says Michael **le, portfolio manager at Fairmont Equities in Sydney. He says recent moves up were characterized by "good volume and impulsiveness," while moves down came with lower volume, making a rise just under A$2.00 possible. While official data shows Myer remains one of the most heavily shorted stocks on the ASX, indicating a longer-term downtrend, **le sees enough upside for a trade in the short term. Myer last traded 0.3% lower at A$1.46 Wednesday morning. ([email protected])
