{quote} Damn, why haven't we met a couple of years ago? If you cut the chart you posted in 2 halves... what changed between the 2 parts? Is the current monthly candle a technical (bounce-)candle or a fundamentally influenced one? The FED didn't give a date to hike the rates, which equally means they've expanded the window to buy dollars for the moment the hike happens. Would we want to buy dollars at the current rate (or a fortnight ago), or at a discount? The numbers coming from the...
I was mostly lurking. Used to hang out over in Cobra's thread but after he left and TraderatHome switched to Sonic only a few people were willing to post their ideas. Everybody else just kept asking the same questions over and over.

Just for the sake of comparison of the historical effect of the FED rate cycles: A picture or two is worth a 1000 words. In the first chart the blue graph is the FED funds rate and the green is the DXY. Red lines are where the interest rate cycle changes from raising to lowering, Blue ones are the reverse, from lowering to raising. Dashed lines are where you don't get the expected effect.

Second chart, same as first except I replaced the graph of the Fed with the DJIA, which is black. Marking for the changes in interest rate cycles is the same.

Very interesting idea.

I have this. Black lines are monthly mids, green are weekly. Where you get those clusters make nice places to trade in a zone you already like. The ADRLow and ADR high are for a mixed day with the ADR split evenly from the open. The LB High and LBLow are for a long or short day with the Low calced by subtracting the ADR from the day's high if price is below the open and added to the day's low if price is above it.

Okay, don't move, stay exactly here. That first chart you posted offers me some homework for tonight. Will be back in a couple of hours. Awesome.

Hatch literally hasn't been this excited since 2012.

Thanks Miss, I'm in the hot zone now, so I'll have to check it as I can...

first L added it's small, maybe 5-10 pips early....watching for tired candles.

Hm... just a thought on the dxy-interest-rate-chart. The world (with respect to interest) has changed dramatically. While in the past, the differentials might have been bigger/smaller, rates are now equally low with a few exceptions. That basically excludes any "non-reaction", any delay in responsiveness or any contradictory outcome.

Hi Misspips,

great charts and research. I did similar a few weeks ago but not with rates but with QE (which itself is kind of rate decrease).

One can not stress enough: the oftentimes advocated correlation plays do not exist (at least not constantly).

When one, as a trader, bet on it, how high is the chance to be right? 50:50? And as our charts show, when rate hikes (-decreases) come, one simply can not say when and if this event will kick in into the currency valuation.One can be wrong by a few thousand pips, easily.


I also had an exchange about the this topic with FxTyrant. You can start here:

Keep up the good work

Just overlay the rate of aussie or kiwi on aussie or kiwi chart for 5 years or 10 years length, it will be clear that the rate correlation play does not work. Forget about rate, just look at the chart. It is all in the chart.
