anyone printed money in this up and down
better stay away from the market
finally taper taper taper taking finished ...... bears are ready to act
Oooooooooopppppppppssssssss
I think the bull will try to go out as high as possible, so move driven up then the fall, but let's wait and see.

As for taper, I think Bernake probably wanted to at least to see a start of taper before he left, don't think he'd want to be remembered as the fed chair who got market permanently hooked on QE.

it means bullish for dollar

Looks like it triggered a lot of the buy orders below 1.37 and bears are coming in, and bulls are going out around 1.38. Break below of that long candle it will be a long way down.

XAU went down, and that may stimulate physical metal buying.
FOMC statement = strong dollar, so I will be surprised to see XAU go up much.
