I`m sorry if somebody feels offended but the fuc... just happened? Russia invaded USA or what?

Today we had 1.2980 and now we have ~1.3440 almost 500 pips in one day, and over 200 pips in 1 minute? Come on this does not happen in this pair. Need to have a drink.

i really wonder the faces of the asians now.
Imagine being in Tokyo and your name is Hidoshi Suzuki and you are a currency trader. You are tired so you went to bed that night. Anyway you wake up and your wife Geisha Suzuki gives you a long kiss.
So u take your shower and heading to your office and preparing for the day,
and look at your SHORT order in eurusd and see if it hit your target of 1.2800.
and than
KABOOOOM
i am sure some asians will die because of heart attack tomorrow.

5*! LOOOL

Suspect is buy the drinks.

death to the bears
Ah... The infamous Grizzolar Bear.

I know the checked the contents of it's stomach to see whether it was eating seals or carniverous. {it was both}

Wonder if they castrated it too?

The first evidence {outside a lab} that Grizzy Bears will indeed mate with Polar Bears.

Sad but interesting.

It's been going upwards for an hour now. So, those looking for a retracement anytime soon ... don't hold your breathe. Though, I'm interested in seeing what the Asian session is planning on doing with this move?

guys we are all laughing and making fun of the situation and saying HOLY CRAP..
but the truth is the crisis just got worse.
there will be panic this week in any areas of business.
not just stock markets and currencies.
this might have a negative effect on trades as well.

trade europe is sleeping now, only asians wake up soon
so if there's big move down here ( and I don't doubt of it) it will happen only tomorrow
i dont know... this may have been coordinated..but if it was both would of made the move at same time....this has to be a knife in eurozone and japan, china it will hurt their exports..then again if u.s. consumer has more money he will spend... i guess inflation is the next thing....i dont think all has been digested yet.. equitys dont seem to be moving much higher yet... dow stuck at 130...
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

All what happend those weeks has been only the first wave of the financial crisis. That´s the nature of a credit (debt)system.

It was good news for the stock market, the most important thing (helping the markets to regain confidence) is being achieved(so far) the question now is if it is here to stay or it's just a small spike to go down yet again.

I made around 200 pips today.

I've been out of the market for the last 2 just waiting to see if this bullish EURUSD trend was strong enough for me to buy or not, and today it broke a few resistances so i knew i had to buy it. Bought it, a bit later comes this HUGE uptrend what a luck.

Begginers luck probably (started trading FX relatively recently), this is the second huge spike i get recently (the other one being the major up spike in USDCHF).

I'll wait by the sidelines for a while now to see what's going on.
