PA (daily) is telling me that market is waiting for something, I had a quick look at the calendar and it seems the case…….If the market is waiting, I also wait, I am not going to chase it, if she comes to me, I will take my chance, if not, more fishing for me…. have fun...
As I thought so…… Pa looks a bit better now but still……let see

NFP week. It is a rarity to not spend the week leading up to NFP ranging.

But it happened in the past.

It is a fact that volatility is very low during the last weeks/months (look at he last Daily ADRs which sometimes were not even reached) and this results in one of the most boring NFPR weeks ever.

No always in my case, if Pa shows me a set up, I will take it and normally works very well.. But this week I only had one trade.

This whole FX market has turned into a circus.

How good or bad can the NFPR data be to move the market 120 pips or more (which I expect to compensate for the lost week)?

It is a joke.

Or maybe the ECB rate decision? More times than not they leave everything unchanged. And then? Is this good news or bad news? Good or bad enough to shoot this buddy up or down?

What formerly were swings are now squares which come and go with alibi reasons.

Man, its not totally worth it trading these days ... I personally believe if money isn't in Gold / commodity currencies , are sidelining at least!

That's how currencies are supposed to be, semi-stable / semi-fixed rates to other major currencies unless there are huge fundamental reasons for them to move. The huge swings up and down are not healthy, they are the result of crashing markets.

Should be a non-event. Though with everyone expecting a rate cut and perhaps a cut is already priced in after ECB member talks last week then it could go up if it stays unchanged.

Your opinion is about this month but my question is about every month. Usually what happens if actual is equal to forcast ?

It differs according to how heavy the speculation is on one side of events or another ... positional unwinding could as tiny as irreverent or as big as market crashing.

Jan 9 dropped then faded. (rate same as previous)
Dec 5 went up (rate same as previous)
Nov 7 dropped (rate cut)
Oct 2 went up (rate same as previous)
Sept 5 went down (rate same as previous)

So, it always depends on the expectations of the market not what happened in the past. Can't make a pattern out of it. People expect a cut tomorrow. If there is no cut it will go up, then depending on unemployment claims it will go further up or down again.

If I read it as Kuma Ramy, sexy, but Kuma Rani would have been more sexy. I hate to read it as Kumar Amy.

Off the topic:I generally ignore the forecast, compare actual with actual, for some reason it always works.

I forgot that it was a GBP trade before taking a snapshot. Anyway, it need to break yesterday' s close at 1.6334 and then yesterday's high 1.6345 before betting on bulls.

I am already long with a generous sl.

1.3518 is a very important long-term fib. To me, it is the most important level for euro. The HHs and HLs are not consistent for last few weeks, indicating a strong tug of war between bulls and bears. I favor bulls

Going to be quite interesting on Friday's NFP numbers il keep a good eye out for the jobless claim tomorrow.
Last ADP change numbers got revised downwards to 227K with the new at a lower 175K.
Estimated NFP of 185k sounds like too good music in my ears, dun know how they want to pull a magic trick going from 75K to a 185K with no Christmas or sudden seasonal hiring for the private sector. There isn't a change of weather in this current season still cold in the usa with a minor winter storm at the east coast. I guess 150k is a reasonable number wich would bring eur/usd back to 136. Provided Draghi and his cohorts doesn't drag euro down to hell
