I partially excuse you, you joined several month ago

If your method allows you to profit from crashes, then why worry? Does it matter why it moved?

But if the answer matters to you, I whole hearty set you on the quest to find why this crash happened.
Even more funny, how many "traders" look in this thread for an explanation

dollar sold off on tax cuts news??? interesting

keep looking...
US dollars has been falling. So is yen.
Apparently there is news on Eur bond buying.
Technically Ive been waiting for it. The fall needs to take a breather.

I dont think that is right either
China announced that it may reduce or stop, buying US Treasury's. There was a slight delay between the announcements and the reaction.

What THIS has to do with yen falling or euro bond buying?

Fake news
To be honest, I dont have a clue and I dont care. I was short EURCAD and I noticed the strength of the CAD stalled and my thesis was no longer right. Maybe the bankers no longer believe the CAD will raise rates. woke up to a surge in the YEN which i didnt understand. Then a surge in EUR and CHF. I think its just accumulation for a bigger move or just cause and effect. One of those things we as retail traders cannot predict

Chinese, being owners of the longest wall in the world (physically and metaphorically), understand very well, that hiding behind a wall in a long term does not pay off.
You can find the answer literally on ff frontpage (hint: red news). Can't believe people are asking this really.
Price action....just kidding! Talking seriously, we don't need to know specifically why a price move took place. What we need to know is how to successfully trade the move.

Trade safe and prosper.

Thanks for your info! Most constructive reply here. I mistook the news. Great info.. fundamentally rocky for dollar

add: seems like China halting bond purchases rumor was not the complete reason as well. euro surge was from ECB minutes, indicating they might harden the guidance for their policy settings
