Could someone forebear my neglect in this, and say briefly what, other than CB jawboning, might be behind this CHF pegging speculation?

Nothing, that's just it. Bit of rumour mongering to get some covering to get a natural bounce.

Pegging is not going to happen, it will kill the economy over there and the proud Swiss are never going to give up their independence.

CB jawboning must be top of the list. Worked nicely, too. But...as a last ditch effort, what else could they do? Running out of digits to the south on USDCHF chart. Too much further and surely they will collapse.

And on top of that, they don't have the cash to physically interfere.

Thanks, Cloggie and Ken. But Ken, do you really think the Swiss would "peg" to anything? Ever? Dislocations may come and go, but the Swiss mindset is likely forever.

Would have to agree 100%. Whats the point? Everything they have thrown at it has been swallowed...at a rate with an ever shortening half-life.

I would like to point out that even with the fawkery on the daily... We are en route to close with a LL/LH. Maybe this is it... lol. H4 bears are not giving back that much...
It seems the storm has passed (or we are in the eye of the storm). I see your daily LL/LH but also weekly is about to make a a confirmed HL tomorrow (if we don't break todays low) making 2 consecutive HL in the weekly (very compressed) but still LH by a few ticks. The TA importance of that in my view is that if monthly roll give up in this conditions we'll see a break of the triangle on the weekly.

Obviously not implying a trend up yet but at least a fresh high to burst the annoying weekly/daily range....

They are running out of ammo, their dollar reserves are down to 25%, they got their rates at zero, the only bit of ammo they had left was threatening to peg.

I have a very hard time believing they would. That's why I favor jawboning. Is talk always cheap? Not so sure in this case. Whomever thought it up deserves more than a "pat on the back" in my mind. At least some chocolates.

Hahahahahaha...

Knew somebody else would have a good one to add. Well played sir. The clock would be grand to bring home to the missus/fella.

I am thinking so, too. Restarted today just before 1400ET long at 4207. Not because I'm a raging bull, that's just what the algorithm wanted out at that particular time.

Your "eye of storm" might be apt. But ya gotta pay yo money to take yo chances.

We are running into Daily Roll over in a few short moments, today looks to close a positive candle. This typically doesn't work well for shorting into EOD.


Playing the longs off of previous daily roll, would probably serve better or if in no position, wait until the Asian session retrace on Break zone.

Yeah...I actually missed the whole big run down. Took a few out, but was gone right before it broke. I was tired, though...wasn't focused enough. Glad I did, because that turn was violent!

This is my last 24 hours. Not the most profitable day this week, but my targets are hit. Playing is optional from here on in...my favorite place to be heading into Friday.
good trading man. yea I think i'm pretty much done for the week here, but im sure i'll get myself into a little something later
