Who is shutting down the markets?

Just a question: Is it just me, or we're seeing the calm before the storm?

Markets are very dinamic and they seem to be very quiet now.
Anybody wanna bet for a sharp move for some of these days?

I know all scalpers have their daily fun, but I mean in Daily TF.
Trade, don't bet.

Hi MarketFox:

Are you talking about the US stock market (S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq, etc...)?

Expect some huge movement on Friday or on Monday (27th Feb or 2nd March). That's why the peace before the storm. Just my thought.

My view is that the announcement by SNB in January scared the pants off many traders and the volume is well down at the moment.
Give it some months before the forex market regains some confidence.
Cheers, H

Feb is often quiet month, due to Chinese New Year Holiday and Global chinese managed funds are off-line.

When market shift direction or no direction to see, then, market is quiet, and range run for a while. But, Chinese return to market, then, a new direction may be set up for next 3-5 months till July.

Yesterday, price action suggest USD will be flat or down. GBP, AUD, CHF, JPY may run a mild up trend to June.
1.5666 is mega level for cable, if close above, then, 1.6200, 1.6666, or 1.6800 will be hit.
1.1670 is mega level for euro, if close above, then, 1.2660, or 1.3660 may be hit.

What storm is there to be? The USD rate hike? That has been put off for a while now? Greece situation? N/A I suspect we will be ranging for a while here on daily tf and shorter tf. Unless something unexpected comes then that could change however market has everything down to a tee, so no need for wild moves.
All posts are my personal opinion

Well, if you see my previous post, you'll notice that I'm a veryy fundamental person.
My concern is about how the world is splitting and when, how and with who... join forces.

Actually currencies
On the contrary MarketFox, the Forex market is anything but "quiet" these days! Compare the current average daily/weekly/monthly range of each currency pair with last year for example and see for yourself. Right now there is enough action and volatility to keep you busy all day in the Forex market.

Energies
Crude oil alone lost nearly 60% of its value during the last 6 months and you call that a "quiet" market?

You can still find things to do on the forex, but it is true that eur is ranging, jpy has stopped growing, and usdcad is consolidating. Yes, it looks like a rest before the storm. Lots of setus on GBP and the AUD or NZD

Yeah, not only forex, but other assets aswell. But comparing to other years it seems that the market is taking a nap.
