I think we have 'risk-off' while the market thinks about these numbers; which means USD strong. As I write this I realize that it was always going to be this way....... ...and mebbe not...
I just see a whole different scenario, weak USD unless manufacturing and industrial numbers are supportive. And Corrections in extremely oversold EU and GU and the Aussie taking the lead.

well, 103 will wait for another day, USD just needed a correction so there's a chance for entry at a cheaper price.

I suspect you are right.
I like to ponder these things in order to feel the sentiment, if I can.

Still no wage growth. Unemployment slight increase. Difficult to see rate increase just yet.

I agree that it's risk off- but I do not agree with a strong USD.

The Dow Jones industrial average had its worst one-day drop since February on Thursday.

S&P had it's worst fall since April.

The dollar is massively overbought. It's only natural it comes back down.

Yeah we were omitting that. Looks like UJ cant and couldnt defy gravity.

I believe it will bounce around 102.13, most times after clearing 102.67 it does, which could provide oppertunities for both shorts to reload, and longs to off load. or visa-versa

Regarding the weekly though, I see this staying in the range, which would mean bears in control now.

Such a small drop. An off-the-forecast NFP + a rise in unemployment rate number only caused a 50-pip drop??!!! With number that weak, it should warrant at least a 80-pip move. I guess everybody is on holidays and nobody is trading.

H1 looks oversold, small bounce from here very possible but one thing that worries me is falling US10y yield now under 2.5% . temporary or not, we'll see.

I agree. On the H1 chart, in my opinion, a retrace back to around 103.20 seems plausible.

Well, Smash, I guess that wraps it up for the Yen. I mortgaged my property, sold my wife and dog and everyone's looking like they're homeless. The dog is the biggest problem.

US FF rules are saying i cant open mu thread till i get accepted them i will post my first post here.My views about trading and thoughts could be a bit strange but i'll explane better later when i'll open my journal.We "had" a bearlish divergence on H4 with double top and the divergence was at stochastic period (80-100) us also MA was down.Who ever shorted that pattern find posible exits based on daily S/R.I missed that signal.

^ Hilarious! I love it.

thanks for the crystal ball predictions smash... hope nobody followed that advice

I know many feel that this pair is due north. Big banks said the same thing and many predicted a 110 end of year close. given the wordly events I'm skeptical and would be cautious of such advice now more than ever.

Still holding shorts.

US made a new low today.

First target for this run is 102.14 (expect to see a bounce there)

Ultimate target is back down to 101.25 (weekly range low)

long 500,000 nzd/usd @.86760 Looking at .8700 to .87100 area to close long trade
Question....if you aren't basing these trades off of USD weakness/strength, what are you basing them on?

I ask this, because if you ARE basing these off the performance of USD...then they are counter productive to eachother.

Just some food for thought
