I am doubting that. I am expecting a poor #.

Should be some nice action around this report tomorrow.

We will see.

Happy Friday everyone...

as expected barrier options containing price in a 100+pip strait since tuesday...

price now saturated within both upper and lower ranges (see chart)...sufficient energy has been accumulated to prepare for a breakout...after a slight bearish tendency on wednesday we're seeing renewed bullish vigor today probing the upper range...

Note that price found support three times at the midline of the broadening top...this should keep the preliminary posture positive going into the numbers...

Personally if that is the way you trade i would advise closing half and then move your SL to B/E that way you book some profits and leave some on the table to see how it plays out.

yes would say 2/3s even that way when you get stpped at break even you walk away with a little , you get the right levels and you can do alrite at it , but much better finding the trend and rolling with it for sure

Happy Friday too. Nice analysis there. My chart looks very different but I think the end result could be the same. The area I shaded as a potential test (1.5560-5570) does actually go back a long time but I didn't show it on the chart.

Re NFP later

Keenly anticipated still by market even though it's worth as an accurate measure is somewhat devalued....this time more so than prev recent months as may influence U's's Fomc to introduce more Qe, 'QEII' as it is termed, at their next meeting if payrolls are weak...

This site and others goinmg with -65k headline number forecast against -125k last month...Much focus will be on the 'private payrolls' sectrion of the report and manuf jobs fxcm saying +90k private payrolls against +83k last mth and +10k manuf payrolls against +9k last mth, Un-emp rate forecast to rise slightly again to 9.6% from 9.5%.

So difficult to predict as it depens on so many factors/components now as to how market will react..but generally if the number (s) are weak and the un-emp rate goes up and say there is a negative revision to last mth, that would likely see some $ selling...the opposite being the case on strong/positive numbers.

It's a lottery and I for one will not be in a position ahead of it, unless that stop is at b/e or better. Prefer to see market reaction and see if it is is definate on defiante data...but 1st lo/sell 1st p/back -or- sell 1st hi/buy 1st pullback would be the preferred route if that scenario plays out.

Ahead of U.s Nfp data Uk's Ind and manuf prod and PPi numbers are due at 0830am gmt...again weak prints could see some £ weakness...conversely good prints could see some £ strength. ? That is the conventional wisdom but remember, anything can happen - Lol !!

It is indeed a lottery....

To follow on from a point you made within that post, it has been interesting to see risk assets (namely commodities and equities) remaining bid of late in the face of deteriorating economic data from the US, with the disappointing initial jobless claims data from yesterday being the latest in a string of poor numbers.

Some credit for this relative resilience must be attributed to the pleasing second quarter earnings from the US. However, by and large, the market's current logic seems to deduce that the worse the economic numbers are, the greater the chances of another round of QE from the Fed. This theory has gained a great deal of traction from the weak inflation numbers of late.

And, as we have seen from 2009, QE does have a positive effect on equities, commodities and bonds, as capital moves away from a crowded market in US Treasuries and seeks better returns elsewhere.

From a theoretical point of view, a further round of QE, or even the increased likelihood of such an outcome, should be detrimental to the fortunes of the dollar (as we are seeing now?) - something which is an added benefit from the point of view of policymakers in the US, as they strive to re-balance the economy away from a reliance on debt-fueled consumption.

Spot on Paul...

I also expect to see situation mimic'd in other areas as well..for long term bulls it might come as a shock but it will eventually happen. If BIG daddy (largest economy) goes down it takes everyone else with it to an extent. Thing to note is, BOE is not withdrawing QE, they have left the option open
For EU, they never did one except recently where they bought Greece debt. One shoe has dropped wait for the other. It's a WAR of currencies. US expect cheap dollar so jobs / manufacturing can be created in the US instead of wealth transfer to other countries due to "expensive" dollar. Germany doesn't want strong Euro as they can't compete with China and supply the rest of the world. For UK I don't know where the hell they stand...financial capital means all should be hunky dory but this drives job away due to currency strength and inflation (if it goes down) at the same time attracts investment.

If BOE raise the IR, it will be a disaster. Inflation is due to animic currency not demand. People below the poverty line can't stop eating or live life. May be that's what they want :-)
