(not directed at you Vancarbon): For those who share similar beliefs, let's put things into perspective....life is all about managing risks and time horizons. Think of the WORST periods of the market (and your favorite currency). How "bad" was it, ...

Prediction: No intervening until at LEAST CPI data next week. But I agree with Nabil. If the USD is weak, the effect of intervention would be more impactful. That said, it may also be seen as unnecessary if things are moving in the "right" direction ...

Not that I have all (or ANY) of the answers, BUT.....to say any prior intervention was "useless" might be a stretch. We have no idea of their prior intent. Maybe it was to determine where the market would take the pricing after an injection of 'x' ...

Did you hear Powell? He doesn't see the stag NOR the flatiron (FED chair made a joke in the press conference). To be fair, he asked the media where they are coming up with concept of stagflation regarding this cycle. Powell reminded them that he ...

Why would you say the previous was a scam?

I am no expert, but it would seem a small amount of $$ would drive the /6j through the resistance area formed yesterday and 4/19. Only problem is the 50day MA and resistance TL lurking right above any such breakout. Of course, the market could take ...

The bounce backs immediately following these "interventions" are certainly interesting. I wasn't around for the 2022 variant (and haven't back tested on small time frames to see what happened intraday), but it certainly doesn't feel like a big rally ...

Due to the disjointed nature of the dollar and equity markets, I'm starting to wonder if the massive selloff in equities funded the short dollar/long yen (in part) on behalf large players....with enough push to get algos into the mix. The $DXY made ...

You may be right....but that doesn't mean it has to be Japan. Trading at these hours means hitting trailing stops while most aren't I front of a screen. They (whomever "they" are) have enough push to start the ball rolling down the hill and activate ...

The equity markets aren't even taking notice to the dollar weakness though. This is weird.... especially after that rout since Powell stopped speaking. Bonds aren't climbing either on the dollar weakness. Something is afoot.

And that's what makes a market. From the Fed meeting: nothing if note. From the press conference, a big move in one direction and then a bigger move in the OTHER direction once Powell is about 5 minutes into questions ...

Yes....BUT.....you also have to then assume that the people making decisions about rate cuts, "FED" (and, more importantly, the people making decisions about the people who make decisions about rate cuts...aka "the market") are looking at deeper ...

What DOESN'T seem to line up, though, are the consumer confidence numbers from yesterday and the bullets EventsTrader pulled from this ADP report. If wages are up (and higher than inflation), and jobs are being added (i.e. people not having to look ...

1st of the month. Insane end-of month dump in the last 10 minutes yesterday. FOMC later today. Add to that the fact that the ADP numbers are averaging something like 25% off estimates (and often even further after revisions) over the past 12 months ...

Yeah, it's going to be a wild ride near-term.

The October intervention saw 583k contracts traded in /6j. So far we have 162k. It is a bank holiday in Japan and the rest of the Europe/US hasn't opened yet....so there is another leg ahead. That said, I'm not sure the US (or firms holding USD/JPY) ...

I'd take it (well, a fraction of it)...no clue what's going to happen (or how extended). Just saying "I was here" for the start..... ....no follow-through as of yet.

haha. Someone should screenshot the 1-minute chart. It's pretty comedic. Rare to see an actually "H" form (though, to be fair, that rightmost line down isn't too significant)
- ffghost commented Apr 29, 2024
3.5k /6j contracts in 1 minute isn't enough for me to think intervention though...this would need some serious pump behind it before a full-on signal. For now, I'm thinking people are just playing with the light volume due to a bank holiday.
