{quote} Correct. There is no gap in the interbank market. If there was, it would have been visible on the chart I posted, and it clearly isn't By the way, that quick move down was in almost zero volume in an illiquid market, so I class it as MM re-pricing. Nothing else. Hence, the "fill the gap" prophecy will likely be fulfilled.
How do you know it was zero volume? banks were driving it down.... as seen in the interbank feed....

admittedly there was low volume, but on most interbank ECN's there was some volume. From what I can tell from tick charts w/volume is that the initial 20 or so point drop occurring at around 19:02 was a mark lower by price makers, then until about 19:15 there was definitely decent sized volume which took it down another 0.33% after the re-marked price

From RBS china on CNY data

RBS China | Weak exports reflect muted global demand but solid imports indicate robust domestic demand:

Although the underlying picture is not as bad as the headline data suggests, China's exports were weak in September and this follows poor export data in Korea and Taiwan. The subdued export numbers in Asia reflect the still muted state of global demand. Imports did substantially better. Moreover, the overall import data masks a contrast between weak processing imports and strong normal imports used in China's own economy. Looking ahead, export data is likely to remain subdued in the coming months. Nonetheless, with GDP growth higher than China's government's bottom line, we expect it to hold on to the firmer monetary stance that it has pursued since mid 2013.

Exports were down 0.3% yoy in US$ terms in September, according to the headline data (Table 1). This is much weaker than the Bloomberg consensus estimate of 5.5% growth. Growth of exports to the US fell from 6.1% in August to 4.2% in September, and exports to the EU fell 1%, after 2.5% expansion in August (all yoy). Exports to the ASEAN region also decelerated, to 9.8% yoy, the slowest rate since May 2012, reflecting the slowdown there induced by tapering turmoil.

The underlying picture is not as bad as the headline data suggest. The over-invoicing of exports to disguise capital inflows that took place in 2012H2 and, especially, in 2013H1is not an issue anymore but it inflated the base in September 2012 used to calculate yoy export growth; in our estimate by about 2 ppt. Thus, we gauge actual export growth at about 1.7% in US$ terms in September. Also, falling prices affect the headline data. With prices of exports in US$ terms falling by about 2% yoy at the moment, on our estimates actual exports expanded by about 3.8% yoy in real terms in September.

Nonetheless, September was a weak month for China's exports, sequentially. After adjusting for seasonality real exports fell about 3% mom, in our estimates. This weakness is consistent with the poor export numbers from Korea and Taiwan earlier on.

The subdued export numbers in Asia reflect the still muted state of global demand. We have in recent months seen a helpful recovery in activity in the US, Europe and Japan. However, as we noted before, this growth recovery in the US, Europe and Japan is less import-intensive than usual, reflecting strategies to rebalance growth in many developed countries, and this is dampening global trade and thus export growth in Asia (see China's trade data confirms global demand is picking up and domestic demand remains solid, September 9).

Overall imports grew 7.4% yoy, broadly in line with the Bloomberg consensus. With import prices also falling yoy, this implies about 8.9% yoy real growth.

The overall import data masks a contrast between weak processing imports used in the processing sector and strong normal imports used in China's economy. Processing imports were up only 1.7% yoy in real terms, in our preliminary estimates, in line with poor processing exports.

Looking ahead

Export data may be quite weak in the coming months. Assuming the current stand-off in the US on fiscal policy gets resolved soon, growth in the developed world should improve, and this should support global trade. However, since July financial turmoil in several emerging markets (EMs) following QE tapering discussions in the US has weakened global demand. In our view this will affect China's exports in the rest of the year. On top of that, the data issues will further cloud the headline picture. With the drag from the inflated base of a year ago getting larger, China's headline export data may thus be quite weak in the months ahead.

Despite the subdued export outlook, we expect the government to maintain its current policy stance. As indicated by the import data, domestic demand is supporting GDP growth. The kind of growth we are projecting--7.6% GDP growth in Q3 and 7.7% in Q4--is higher than the government's "bottom line". Thus, barring a sharp deterioration in the outlook, we expect it to hold on to the firmer monetary stance that it is trying to pursue in order to rein in overall credit growth.

I said "almost zero volume" which is a good indication that only a handful of players were involved with that move.

Yep. The way this crazy-a$$ market is behaving, all we got is hope. I'm quite confident we will eventually blow through 1.1550 though.
My targets are 1.1765, 1.1940 and possibly 1.2115
At this point (my view may change later) I see this as a counter trend move, so after that I expect a bearish resumption.

You've yet to fail me mate! Have you the same support areas in your eye as I do? or are you seeing a move below 1.13 as a possibility? I'm quite happy with 1.17, I have two longs on this one which is just at BE right the other I took at 1.1350 so a little under water nothing major though still in green with my NZD/USD short too

For me the only support that really matters is the low... which on my charts is 1.1197. A break below that and I'm out of the trade.

I think 1.1250 is pretty safe, but not safe enough for me to sleep on. However, chances are we head back up to 1.14 before anything else happens. Good night Rod.
