Pivot Trading

Hi guys
Clearly MM put the squeeze on AUD
Should drop significantly soon. 66 where I am looking. EU should collapse after ECB.There is no fundamental reason for it gain further on USD.
regards to all Pivoters
In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

Can someone please offer some Fundamental insight as to the behavior after USD and CAD unemployment claims this morning, have been trying to get a better grasp of the fundamental side but it doesn't make sense to me in this current market.

So extremely good news for both USD and CAD, both expected big negative jobs and got big plus numbers instead (USD +2509K expected -7750K and CAD +289.6K expected -500.0K), both also had a drop in unemployment although for both the USD figures were substantially better than the CAD ones.

So lets look at E/C, substantial drop South over 100pips

But E/U only 50 pips drop, and the USD news was substantially better for both unemployment rate and employment change ... but it only had half the impact?

Any insights? All I can think is the majors move less than the minors but such huge news on USD should have had more effect right? I mean A/U didn't even budge despite USD great news ...

Decided not to touch majors today. EG looked more interesting. Moved higher yesterday and stayed up, didn't move higher on Asia. Clear sign for lack of interest of higher prices. Shorted after 1st rejection from PP. Price tried to go up 2 more times but didn't manage.

Yes, fundamentally NFP is the biggest mover of the month for the USD and would theoretically moved EU south at least 100 pips. Some strengthening started in euro session withe EU, although I think it was more profit taking before NFP. The factors I see are more driven by sentiment since the US has nationwide angst and civil unrest. Things are starting to look up economically with covid-19 but there is so much uncertainty politically and socially, is is throwing off a more positive USD gain. Overall uncertainty for the USD. Not following any 'rules' we are used to. Crosses are more stable. Just my opinion.

I've been taken by surprise as well.

Red news for USD and CAD far better than expected nevertheless dollar loosing against pound and aussie to name a couple.
Besides there has been OPEC+ agreement with oil up and AC went down but not so much.

The only reason I can find is that AUD and NZD are much less affected by Covid-19, however it's hard to find reason for GBP up move with rumors of hard brexit becoming stronger every day.

Last but not least the mistery of EUR, other 600 bn (e.g. more of QE) and price up.

I expected a stronger drop in my EU and AU short.
I don't Took partial losses on AU, EU short., Stretching my stop from 100 to 200 pips. maybe a mistake !!
i still have 100 pips against me.
i need adjust it now
I am not sure the labor market recovery is sustainable, when I see AU holding that level.
we'll see next week.
I agree your opinion. Overall uncertainty for the USD. Not following any 'rules' we are used to.
Hi guys
We got very important event weds on Feds policy rate.Main reason why EU AU and other majors did not fall as much as they should of had Friday. Market makers waiting for the outcome.Should rate confirm the same and some bullish sentiment from Feds after all the NFP beat any expectation by wide margin USD may regain strength and her peers may start more deeper correction.
Not ruling out short squeeze by MM before Weds.AU may reach tops 71 but that's obviously too high considering Aussie is already on crack and withdrawals are coming.
stay safe

Uhm don't seems a good idea stay long but this is only my opinion, since today the price was unable to pierce or reach the Weekly pivot as you can see, this is h4 chart.
