More like a short squeeze than anything else, IMO.
4-5 times the volume on the up move after the report. Proceed with caution with the "short squeeze" mindset.

This could be the start of a new swing.

You can say that again. However, I have to admit that I generally like news trading but news trading on Fridays is something that always makes me nervous.
If you don't risk, you don't ever have to lose.

If you sat with a bloomberg terminal and got the data 08.30.00 or max a few seconds after, wouldn't you then exploit it?

Speaking of which, have you had a look at the Loonie's reaction to NFP? Deserves its name if you ask me...

Funny thing is that a couple of days ago we got some news out of the UK 2-3 minutes ahead of the official release time. I was behind my PC hitting refresh on the FF calendar and what do you know, the figure appeared before the actual time. It was a nice trade.

Okay, now I'm scratching my head. Non-manu ISM far below consensus, and employment component below 50 which means contraction..
