Hi my decent trader mates! Signals above daily tf: Monthly - Buy Weekly (new!), daily - Sell. Therefore I would like to sell as high it is possible. I don't think it will dive from current levels, first I would like to see a new high (or at least a try to crack current top) with huge sentiment change over retail traders (attacking top with very positive Eur data / very negative Usd data). Buying hysteria and stuffs like that...(TP 1.20 with bold characters from the breakout traders) -> H4 is still...
Was right.
Was wrong, yes it did.
Still waiting.

The best for you all, see you soon.

The only thing for sure, its some of the free money/low interest riders will start taking profits (what a ride they had this month) while real money will start looking with better eyes buying the dip as the global economy jitters start fading away ...

closer to the hikes we move, higher chance of a selloff in equities.. in general hawks on the board, but relatively dovish in the last months..fragile world view adding pressure to FED. perhaps all in all they gonna fade themselves really.

concerning gold. tracking patiently and closer to the hike we go..ill try to buy it more.

Why mate? ... doesn't make much sense ...

Gold will hold better short term not because the FED is going to hike (hikes in general are very very bearish for gold) but because the ECB opened further rate cuts and more QE at least until DEC. ....but without that sooner (dec) or later (Q2 2016) Gold will have to take a heavy hammer when ECB, FED and BOE start normalising ...

well, my logic does not count into gold equities so much - what I see is simply higher rates =) lower demand for gold as a conservative instrument =) money moving out of it into other assets as influenced by higher rates . and I think the FED is the primary player here. ECB further easing may have some influence as Sisse noted earlier - "that it had opened 1240,xx for dovish FED case" - but with opposite scenarion - i.e. hikes in US - ECB may just make the landing of gold a little bit softer but I see it much much lower if we get the hikes, indeed.

..last flow seen in gold it moved into strength comparing to all major currencies..i am only trying to follow the flow.

Concerning the outcome of this hike wont mean gold in general will be on a sell, even thou USA interest rate is one of the important ones.

Im pretty sure we gonna have immediate impact on gold when world comes back to normalizing the rates, but at this point we are far from it. With BOJ, Sweden, Russia on hold and other Emerging in the dovish mode seems FED also pressured as said in 2q of 2015. Now looking closer thou.

yeah, I dont argue this logic. im just saying that prolonging the hikes could lead into Q216, plus even if we do hike december, we are far from a worldwide normalizing of rates.

Equities held steady the test 2070.x and we are ticks away to complete a 100% retracement from the Chinese break out in the summer. FED pretty much confirmed that is not in the agenda anymore ....

On the rest of the board as widely expected short-lived moves for the initial reaction and we are ready for key M/W rolls across the board.

Here like usual when we are about to close a mid term chapter ...flat across the board (closing manually last open oil position on the failure to take 45.7x).

Sisse: do you foresee EURUSD reaching parity between now and December FED rate hike...? 1.046xx is the lowest we've seen since Feb 2015. If the ECB plans for more QE, do you think they will do that before or after FOMC rate hike? September was a shooting star and October has been a significantly lower low than prior month. Seems like technicals are headed short...have I completely read this wrong?

Markets digesting the FED. The general consensus is that we got a lot 'less dovish bordering on the hawkish' FED yesterday.

Without Global risk on the agenda, one more time the FED has nowhere to hide so pretty much we are back on the June/July environment when Sep hikes were on sight. For trading purposes, mark next NFP and Inflation reports as MAJOR (more than usual) movers and shakers in direct correlation with dollar.

Technicals will settle the deal for the W/M roll but they seem to be on track to align with the outlook....

Not much to do here but tracking and mapping the next round of trades for early NFP positioning.
