OANDA charts are lagging. Anyone experience the same? {image}
For a few hours, when restarting Oanda Desktop, it can be readed the message : Market closed Hiding enabled ...

Obviously, it was a technical problem, solved in the meantime...

Abstract info from the link https://e-markets.nordea.com/#!/arti...ats-that-curve

US markets to experience largest SOMA liquidity shrink so far on July 31
For those interested in really short-term moves on financial markets, we again want to warn of the upcoming “sumo” SOMA (System Open Market Account) days. Remember that the Fed is gradually letting its balance sheet shrink at a quicker and quicker pace, with a maximum pace of USD50bn/month reached in Q4, 2018 (of which 30bn can be Treasuries). Moreover, liquidity shrinks a lot on some days, but not at all on most other days.
On days with a large and negative impact on US liquidity, the dollar has tended to gain while risk sentiment has been weak. For instance, on the settlement day (July 2) from the latest SOMA redemption (June 30), EUR/USD swooned during the European afternoon – mirroring the now-usual SOMA pattern.

The track-record from the past five SOMA redemption days suggests that being long dollar on SOMA days remains a decent proposition. SOMA redemption days has on average pushed (or coincided) the dollar index (DXY) 0.3% higher,

Hefty SOMA redemption days approaching

I think closing the month above 1683 will leave 1755 open for challenge. But it may not be directly, to 1755.5. Sos about 1756 and -1553, range w/o those help to change trend

{quote} the day closed lower than the previous.. 1683 looks to be tested.. month close still has lots of time to attack higher.. but the day closing lower is not the best sign for bulls. Still bears shouldn't feel so good either while month is still open. the day means little to the month..
testing 1683 now

Sold Uj ×3 -6 sl at 111.08, one -6 2 hanging on, doesn't look like this will be the level...

Unless flows out of jpy into gbp / eur etc and they have to drop before Uj does... otherwise looks like uj set for higher

al 3 -6, sold again at 112.14 -4 p SL
