Longed a little here at 1.4758... 100 pips seems like a possibility on consumer confidence news. I 'll be ready to pull the plug if negative results.

Its better to long at 1.4735-1.4750 levels.. Its a good buy in Dips.
Its a Slight retracement for a next Bullish Move to cross 1.4800 with Force.

naa closed it flat. can't bring myself to go long the USD. So per my journal, I am looking at pairs that do not have the USD involved. AUDCAD perhaps is my next target.

Stay long.. Be patient.. Tommorrow (Wednesday) is the day when you will all see 1.48-1.49

And then on Friday 1.50+ with Non Farm Payrolls..

This week we will end with 1.50-1.51 levels for EUR/USD

It all depends on how market sees interest rate cut ( if any) , so it is likely already discounted in price you see now. Therefore, new cut will not be a surprise move we had. Question is how we will react on 0.25% cut instead 0.50% that everyone ( and my granny) is expecting. Disappointment will move pair in opposite direction than what you are predicting jacobtrader.

So , it is always better to stay flat before those events in my VHO!

I'm not sure if a .50 rate cut is priced in, especially with the data that came out today. A cut would probably send the Eur/Usd up to test the highs at 1.4967.

I agree with Falcon, cause FED Fund futures indicate a 50 Basis point. The market is assuming if another 75 basis point is in the pipe line or no

If FED cuts 25 Basist point, Stock markets and all will start dipping again.. So its not effective move.

A 50 Basis Cut from them will be effective.

Hi DownRiverTrader
Please explain to me what you mean by this in today's scenarios? I'm just an upriverangler fishing for the big fish in an unpredictable river. Do you mean the rumour is that the 50bp have been priced into current levels or how do you read it?

The employment news came out, and the price started falling, but I could just not pull the trigger. Something inside me has me terrified to long the dollar, no matter how rosey.

The best trades always make you want to throw up. Don't be afraid to buy the dollar. I am very bullish the dollar over the long term.

What I am saying is.... if the "herd" (translated to most traders) thinks that Fed is going to cut, then it is already priced in the market. The "rumor" or unconfirmed opinions have been actively trading this idea. Now, once it comes out there are no more buyers (or just a few poor souls). Then bang, profits are taken, sellers panic and price falls on the actual fact. Even if it is true.

Don't be one of the herd.

Nicely said ! That’s why I suggested to all to stay away from market in days like this . Market is here every day , it is OK to take day off once in a while. So sit back , relax and wait for your moment

Hi all

I see many people saying that euro go up to 1,52, 1,55 etc..But I ask a question: All conditions which drive the US to recession or less hard to this slow grow that we are saying arenīt them at UK and UE? High rates wchich drive to less consumme, less house sells, high inflation... High currency isnīt goood for exports and economie. IF us cut rates we are seeing more growth, more salles, more profits for companies, and an economic recovery, on EU and UK economic slowdown if they donīt cut rates too. (Itīs what I think, may be Iīm wrong)

Good point, but a weak currency can make the costs of manufacturing exports higher. Since many commodities are pegged to the USD, costs of raw materials can really become a burden - unless your currency is strong against the USd, then you can enjoy greater margins on manufactured goods exported or not.
