It has hit .9500, wonder if that will lead to a huge move down?

I was thinking exactly the opposite.

I was thinking exactly the opposite.
The fact that there was a fairly large pin bar associated with reaching .9500 was also a factour in my thinking.

Frankly, I never thought this pair would get up this high anyway.

I wasn't expecting to get this high as fast as it has either. But the fact that touched 0.9500 tells me that there's potential to the upside still, although the market is going to be pretty quiet waiting for FOMC minutes.

Fed can give it a push over 0.95 or a pull to 0.94 we'll see.

Good luck

95 is close to a channel top.

95 is close to a channel top.
It certainly is, also it pulled back from that 161.8 fib ext. As is said before, it looks like a nice place to short and maybe I should be selling instead of buying.

I dont know why everyone is trying to short this pair now before the FOMC statement.......IF this is the turning of the trend, 95 will have to be taken out. There will probably be some nasty running of stops, so unless you're using a 100 pip or greater stop I cant see how shorting now is even remotely a good idea

there are very large stops ahead of 95.....there was only one attempt on them, bulls will not let shorts off that easy, its only 25 pips away.....I would try to short on the spike, but I'm not entering any more trades today. I made great money in the past 2 days(41% gain on my main account) and I'm not giving those gains back trading when those puppets from the fed are talking. This will be a crapshoot or roulette. It isn't worth it. My advice? save your money, wait till a defined trend is established on this pair

Always best to wait after FOMC rather than speculate IMO. But I must say, I think the only currency to benefit will likely be CHF as they stay out of policy and possibly EUR. If I were a gambler, AUD and CAN stand the most to loose. I'm not sure USD will know what to do.

Typically, especially when a currency takes a straight shot up like this one pretty much has. It may even go further than the usual 50% as most AUD indicators show it extremely overvalued.
