My M.S BS contra-indicator is lighting up once again. It's been a little while since I have read statements of assurance about what absolutely WILL or WON'T happen in the future from these prosecuted crooks

And of course no mention of Brexit impact anywhere

"The greenback had rallied in recent weeks on mounting speculation the Fed will hike rates in the coming months following better-than-expected data on jobs"

What? USD strenghened in recent weeks mostly because of brexit, and after brexit most thought the rate rise this year was dead and buried.
How has the USD rallied in recent weeks? it has been stuck in a channel since the first quarter of 2015 and it hasn't changed.

MS is not to be trusted, 9 out of 10 times they are wrong, seems they are almost doing this on purpose... most likely they are looking for USD longs themselves If we all short USD next week, it will give them a much better price to buy...

You can always find 2 sides to any story and the same goes with trading. One analyst says a product is going to go down and then another says its going to go up. As a novice trader I have found that there is never a absolute in trading any product. I can only take in all available information and ascertain for myself which way I should take a trade.

Why would that be ?
we have pretty much irrevocably bullish long-term fundamentals for the U.S. versus Switzerland and we got a shot at buying it in the lower 2/3rds of the 30-day range.

mmm... just another forecast, and tomorrow there will be another forecast from another organisation saying it will go the other way. The only real truth is that no one knows.
