This type of stuff can happen easily in thin holiday markets.
It can be a tricky time to trade.

it's really interesting because I've never seen such direct evidence of the large marketmovers.

works for me. That "spike" in the EurUsd pair at 11:30 PT closed my trade in profit i'd entered late last nite when an entry level was tagged...only to see price go down to lower support 1 at 2800ish, tag that, and go up. Got in again after the bounce off the lower tag at 2800, those lots also closed out at the level for double the pleasure. BUT it sure is doing a whole lot of nothing! But over 35 pips on a mellow day like today with the EU pair i'm good to go another day. And trade the S/R bands. Darn those holiday shopping sprees by those big bankers.

Big footprints are very hard to hide, but you only know about them after they create a big hole in the market (or a large candle if you want it like that)

It was me, the big ballers heard I was thinking about making another 1 lot move in the market, there was a lot of speculation, turns out I was just checking my email at the time. WHEW!
