Made negative pips. All close, just after close, market moved.

Short = UP
LONG = Down.

If that's your personal agenda, you're mostly welcome

Just got back. Can't say that I liked this pull back to 0100s again, although my stoploss at 0100 locking 13 pips wasn't triggered yet.

But Euro holding above 3600 sounds like more dollar down for next week. Dollar still bleeding at 81.4 area, failed miserably at strong NFP + revision.

Althought we can SEE that dollar failed a strong NFP, I still want to know what hit the market's sentiment against the dollar today.

Was it dollar bulls anticipating NFP traded it beforehand yesterday at the major's highs for fat profits instead of struggling on a Friday?

I've seen bad revisions making the market turnaround a positive actual figure. But I haven't seen actual and revision super-positives and the market selling dollars. On the day next maybe, but not AT THE NEWS like today...

Very interesting.

I didn't find any comments about that around the sources I chase. Only "dollar gains not sustained", but no comments on underlying reasons or market's sentiment....

Food for thoughts for my weekend on the beach... hmmm.. No, I don't think so.

Found this comment, not sure if it helps your quest for understanding.

16:50 GBP/USD: Traders Searching For Clear Directional Bias New York, July 6. Not a fun session for those trading Cable today, with the market seemingly unable to determine its directional bias. The up and down trading day got its first jolt of volatility in the European session, spiking from 2.0105 to 2.0130, on the back of strong UK manufacturing data, exceeding expectations with a 0.4% m/m gain, the highest level since August 2001. However, the latter move could not be sustained with the pair trading back to 2.0100 into US Nonfarm Payrolls.
Stronger than expected payrolls sparked a sharp drop to 2.0058 from where defensive buying emerged as rumors of Sovereigns on the bid in EUR/USD at 1.3570 surfaced. This triggered a USD selling frenzy with the pair surging to fresh daily highs by 2.0145 from where the latest minor setbacks have occurred to 2.0110, coinciding with the daily open price.
Technicians note that failure by 2.0145 today aligns with the neckline of an intraday H&S top that had triggered Thursday. Inability to move beyond the 2.0145 former support now turned resistance, opens the door for a potential 1-2- 3 top that could now be playing out.
Given the recently priced in BoE hike, strong US data, and technical justification for additional corrective action in the pair, we see today"s high by 2.0145 as a lower top in the works and continue to view recent price action as the start to a broader correction for the pair.

Thanks MPP for this, it does help to some degree in understanding today's behaviour.....

I am going to try to look at the whole picture again Sunday, but now it's time to let go, and consider afresh come end of the weekend....

Glad to help.

Too lousy a NFP move, dollar failing to go up even with 10yr spiking up. There is no trader with too much patience. "Not going down? Okay, let's go up then"

Cera don't worry, next week shall be 300 p down
Give me patience
