I note with interest the 7-1 vote re Boe/Mpc and market knee-jerk reaction to it but it will not stop me taking a trade if my tech edge sets-up one way or the other.
Just wonder why though, Sentance has been giving interviews up and down the country for weeks saying he want a 25bps hike.

USD is on all pairs weakening
Broker losing money? What was the name for such a broker as this?

We never really know, perhaps the market was dissapointed that Sentance was the lone dissenter, votinng for a rate hike now, hence the albeit limited (so far) sell-off on the knee-jerk reaction...Ie had the vote been more evenly split say 6-3 or 5-4 market may have taken it that rate hike was nearer and bought £ on the knee-jerk ?

I note the 'dark cloud cover' bearish candle close on 1hr now..

Okay.. don't follow this, but I have a play....

Right now price has retraced back to the 200 SMA. Here are the scenarios...

1. If price bounces from here, I will enter at 1.53373 with a SL below the low of the current bar.

2. If my trade does not trigger and this current bar closes above the 200 SMA, I will use the high extreme of this bar to enter and the low extreme as my SL

Speaking 1HR bars here now.

If this bar closes below the 200SMA, than these trades are off, and I look for the same sort of 200SMA rejections going to the short...
This trade is off now.. market seems really greedy to me so far....

It is nice to know that economic disasters can be placed at someone's fingertips
I guess there is no need for any stress test there...

Because the 0900 bar did not breach the top of the 0800 bar, I like to call this a Bullish Rejection Bar. To me this says that the 0900 bar was caused due to the sell off of the last bull bar, and not really because there is lots of downward pressure. I say Bullish Rejection Bar, because the only way I would trade a bar like this is if it broke the previous bars high.

Most of the time they do not break the previous bars high, but I also find that very rarely do rejection bars go to far in the continued direction either.

So, perhaps this is just a way for me to stay out of trouble.

What I also find is that sometimes you will get 2 or 3 of these in a row, leaving you with nice parameters for a breakout....

Happy pippin' mate

Well, I went short. My entry is on 1.5272, SL on 1.5328, and TP on 1.5201

It seems to me that price will test yet again the 100 EMA on 4h chart. That test should bring me about 70 pips...

Let's see...

Seems short orders are collected with the spike and small long with spike before the news... I reckon we need more long orders...I am in favour of longs.

These time frames are showing sequential compression pattern formations. The wide array of EMA's on 15m,
30m and 1hr have been gathering into relative flat compressed formations preparatory to an imminent explosive
[u]release should they mature....
quoting further "...where upon the EMA's explode apart producing a violent and often vertical price movement."
.....................................
Even when the conditions are near optimal, a spark from any
source might ignite the fuse...... whether it's a news or non-
news item or some other bad karma. Call it what you like.....
the market has yet to establish direction from this compression
formation and and will use it to its advantage. The EMAs never
quite reached their tightest compaction as the 15m and 30m
have already started to separate upwards without allowing the
1h to complete its formation.

Time will tell. The process may repeat itself and reform in the
hours to come as we are right back where it was 8 hrs ago.

Otherwise the whole move was a dud with some surprised accounts
(+ and -).

Cheers,

Dr. D.
