I trade with ACM. About 10 minutes ago (22:23:26 seconds CET or 5:23 PM EST - my time), the price dropped down to 0.9218xx and then popped back up to where it is now.

Is this a glitch? Does anyone elses trading platform show this spike down and up?

Thank god I don't have any SLs set, 'cause if this is not a glitch, then everyone just got their SLs wiped out.

I know very few of you visit the USDCAD thread, and assuming you all have a minute or two to spare, now that London is closed, can you guys explain what happened yesterday (see post above)?

Could that long candle been some sort of precursor event as to what's taken place today with the USDCAD, EURO, etc.? Still looking for an explanation. All I could think of what that some huge institutions wrote off some USD and then quickly bought back in, maybe on a new week/month/quarter ledger? I dunno. Help me out guys.

Anything can happen though & even few more pips down but any particular reason go short at this level or not long ?
thanks ,
fontu
its difficult for me to go short now , I was short @1.5023 and collected my profit @ 1.4950 , I honestly didn't expect bigger drop but happy with my profit for today .
my point is when the trend is valid in any direction either up or down , its easy for me to define my stop loss .
but when its a down trend and I bet on the up side ( for me personally speaking here ) I cant define my SL , specially with such 2 bear candles on the hourly chart .
ofcorse every one trades his own system , maybe its me who is wrong , but I never place any trade against a trend.
I SEE YOU !!

Traders say a Swiss private bank is responsible for the bulk of the drop in EUR/USD after the pair broke important supports at 1.5000 and 1.4980.

This name is not seen moving size often, but when they do, it tends to be for a Middle Eastern account, we are told.

Duce, have you tried contacting your broker first?

Usually those spikes are brokers fault.

I am long on the retrace. Entered 1.48944. SL 1.48770. 1st Target 1.4973.
If it will go against me the loss is only 17 pips.
If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.

It became more profitable for those who move the markets to drop the price instead of continue to lift it.

Guys it is in the daily EMAs (22,33,44). Take a look, you will see the price has been away from the EMA for a bit too long (Sep2).
It has now touched the EMA22 and depending on what the GDP puts out later in the week, will either pierce through the EMA44 and put some distance to the sub 1.46s.

CHF above 1.04s
CAD has already pierced through and will probably stabilize in the 1.07s
GBP don't know.
AUD sub .88s and I want to laugh at this but as I said earlier, depends on the GDP read.
JPY 93S but who can tell with this one.

Swiss private bank blasted EUR/USD

EUR/USD slipped as low as 1.4951 before stabilizing. We trade now at 1.4960. 1.4980 should...
Thanks for the information , some sorts of manipulation . Once done ,some effects & will fade soon.
