Hey GM,

If fed were to raise IR. What would be the consequences. Other currencies , sell. If not, should they resume their normal course and go for long??

Something for the think - tanks

Don't know what the hell happens to this market sometimes. It's always a challenge that's the reason it attracts.

When you see HUNDRED MILLION dollar trades move the price 50-100 pips in a minute or two, you can bet who ever made the effort wants the price to stay just where it is.

I would be surprised if it went much lower at this point.

Hold my short as there was no way for real up trend.

GBP sucks
YEN strong as hell
Candle volume fucking big
Gbp/Usd didn't move
Eur/Jpy down again right now

right now it seems just a spike and I'm not gonna lose against those tricky mofos.

Well I'm flat right now and staying that way. Not liking the way my platform keeps bouncing in and out of connection here. Weird?

I'll go check my router but I don't think it's at this end.

Yup, How can one make sure they stay where they were without buying the dollar, eh!!

No one in fed can make this statement without having proper consultation. Specially senior members.They can lose jobs over it. So yes, it seems you are right in analysis.

Dollar shorting back on the cards it seems.

Just watching this poor little hammer forming all own it's own on the 1Hr GBP/JPY.

Stubborn little Sh*t isn't it? Lets see if we fall back below 150. Moved the Sl to BE 15050 on that cheeky Short trade chucked in on the spike.

I guess this is it for me tonight....too confusing, and 3 majors are in unity bouncing up and down in the same zone. Good night everyone, and trades safely

When in doubt...

Usdjpy recovering and Cable down again, seems the dollar is getting some strength. To be honest I still think Yen is much stronger than USD.

Hi ams,

yes a challenge it is indeed...lol

A rate rise at next week's meeting? I don't know. Maybe they're trying to prepare the people for future IR hikes from zero.
At the same time they're announcing buying short-term treasuries outright today....

But still USD negative carry is intact, until that's corrected, It's probably sell dollars for now...

30yr TBonds : 120.38 -0.2% was earlier
120.72 +0.1% a few moments ago
