FYI FMOC Meeting Minutes on Tuesday might be interesting. I see Aud at 91, Cad at 96
Good point, although Fed's statements are usually HARD to decode LOL...

"Inflation risks remain", "financial turmoil will take time to resolve"



Then the market goes the way it wants

I am very interested in how these weekly candles are going to finish.

A doji star or a shooting star on the weekly could signal a bearish week,
a good strong bull candle on the daily might signal for a bullish monday

I think the market is going to price in a next cut from Fed. No matter the economic data and all... Just to spark an already needed massive correction...

Let's make no mistake. Euro at mid-41s is one DAMN ULTRA high level and 1.45 is an obvious target in case Fed cuts. I just don't think we will see this level without a cut and/or a hike from ECB....

Doubt remains: Will cable follow suit or will trade as disgustingly as it is trading lately?

Thanks for opening my eyes. I'm floating with big pips, and i feel so calm.

Why? Because i look at the daily chart, and i don't see a DAMN thing to close my position lool, and the way ahead looks so big, until further notice.

Of course, the ultimate decision to change was mine. But your good opinion about the dailies was the last nail in my new "home".

After this crazy spike today, where millions got killed, i must say... i feel good!



PS: Next step... how to have a floating position with 5000 pips like Bravado. Oh what a dream LoL.

Good points. Both are at high levels, but the push from the late buying today could mean the top for a huge correction is still a little ways off (maybe nother 150 pips for cable?). Then again, price action is useless to read on a NFP day.

That's why it's wise to stay out unless you already have a position open, which was my case, and I closed for a non-greedy amount of pips on all pairs. If I hd been greedy, I would be in the red now.

Not me I was in and out like 7 or 8 times "shoot left, shoot right"
like a drunken cowboy but I came out about 90 pips on top, could of had 120 but made one stupid decision.

Yup, pretty disgusting!

I got up for the NFP, saw the figures, didn't like the feel of the market, and went back to sleep (I had a few buy stops open, but only 0312 triggered - I forgot to add spread to my 0301 - lol). Remember, my 'feeling' was NFP better than expected, good revision, but market reacting opposite, and looks like that's what happened - I believe we have Bush to thank, in part, no? (I got to go catch up on my news, but, no offense to anyone, anytime that guy opens his mouth, $$$ goes jumping off a bridge).

My amateur guess as to why the market is reacting like this? (and please, feel free to discuss it and correct me if I'm wrong - this is just my simple, 'little people' take on it)
I think that, right now, with the housing as it is, rate cuts are seen as dollar-positive and strong NFP reduces the likelihood of another rate cut next month, which would then make strong NFP dollar-negative.
Does that make sense to anyone else or do I need to go get my head examined?
