  • Consumer Sentiment in U.S. Declined in March to Four-Month Low

    From bloomberg.com

    Consumer confidence declined in March to a four-month low as optimism about the U.S. economy was tempered by weaker income expectations and a rebound in gasoline prices. The University of Michigan said Friday its preliminary consumer sentiment index decreased to 91.2 this month from 95.4 in February. The median projection in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a reading of 95.5. Consumers were less upbeat this month as cold weather boosted utility bills, the cost of gas advanced from the almost six-year low in January and wage growth was limited among middle- and lower-income households.

Bad for US = Good for $ actually.

I don't really look at the fundamentals. But check out the charts, UJ especially. A reversal here would be a strong topping pattern and completes the recent 5 wave move up on the daily chart, and could also be the C wave of the weekly chart. I expect a move down of ~ 800 pips in the first case and ~25-40% in the second case.

Which one plays out, depends on fundamental data, news story, and crowd psychology

Of course, if the uptrend stays intact here, it could grind higher. But as of now, momentum is faltering.

That's just wrong Same data for EU (and any other currency respectively) would send the EURUSD down 100 pips. So much blind emotional trading is happening on US pairs that it's crazy
It was funny watching SM-moves 20mins. before news. They are really good at confusing retailers. Some call it "Accumulation period"
As for the data, Its the revised rate from 93.6 to 95.4 for Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment.

Since last month had a higher rate, the current USD currency value did not reflect that higher rate.

And of course, the big boys are making lots of money...
It's not depend on data today. EU retest 1.05 again even if US's data good or bad
