beside the markets always do what they want, here my understanding:

- no rate hike = more strong USD ( EURUSD down, USDxxx up )
- rate hike = more weak USD ( EURUSD up, USDxxx down )

EDIT: this is wrong, it's the other way round.

The Fed has upgraded their assessment for the economy which is going to be a step forward to the rate increase, USD was effected today by those data from the FOMC.

Textbook answer is rate hike raises dollar, rate cut lowers dollar.

But a rate hike is not a black and white issue if raising it hurts the overall economy. If money gets too expensive it causes an economic contraction, stock market drops, consumption declines, exports decrease, price of mortgage and business loans go up, deflation because of lower demand and less money supply, unemployment rises, etc. It's a balancing act.

Fed needs to raise rates though because of the bubble. At the moment, they are out of ammo if it collapses. It's a tricky situation.

The fed news was neutral and ambiguous, but they did not take a rate hike off the table. It takes 24 hours for markets to fully react before the price lands.

Also, big money positions itself for later moves.

Thank you for your explanation.

Excerpt:
When markets expect that US interest rates will be hiked, it typically strengthens the dollar. That’s because people rush to change other currencies into dollars — because they can make more money in dollar-denominated investments. The higher demand for the US currency drives its value up.

as some of u old timers should know that price usually retraces back to the price of the news which was all it was today since no hike or drop....the other thing is usually after news the path of least resistence is the first reaction....so dont be surprised price returns where it was or higher even at the fed release

{quote} I know I said I wasn't going to trade after my EJ trade today (stopped just below B.E.) but this trade is what I've being waiting for as per plan (not a scalp). Re-entered my short with broken rising TL. I am expecting FOMC to be a non event and if anything slightly hawkish. {image}
Still in trade. Will leave open, imo momentum should carry this lower past the 1.096x support. Will watch the 200ma however and if it starts lifting above this level before PA breaks below may look to close. Looking for at least a touch on the MA however.
