Very strange PA on EURUSD atm, it should be falling not rising after strong NFP... I think its causing some probs for Dax right now.

Following a previous conversation with D1 about IG spreads, and further to the CFD versus futures debate, here's IG's DAX quotes from around 13:30 UTC today. The spread is fixed at 1.0 but there are some noticeable gaps!

I also see down close @9850 although not clear if we'll close that today, I don't like the fomc days so i'll wait at the sideline for the moment for as long I can resist the the itchy feeling to jump in again at a probable level. let's see how it is going to be played out today, interesting 2 say the least.
Have a good weekend

There are, indeed.

Seems logical to me. To hedge their book, IG is competing for liquidity on Eurex, and in various dark pools. In addition, around big news releases liquidity is low.

The noticeable gap above 10085 about a minute after the release is clearly part of a stop hunt above the morning low, which suffers the same kind of gap, as the accumulated stops eat quite some liquidity. With IG this happens also under ordinary market conditions, i.e. away from news time.

Not a problem for me, but maybe your perspective differs?

DAX: 10'270 - 8'760
all seems possible & moreover.
~10'790 & ~9'550 are crucial levels for me, weekly's triangle (#18'366).
The DAX should historically go over 10'000 this year.

I mean for today I was biased up. However that bias did not help this time...
Have a nice weekend!

The fact that not even a good jobs number could lift equities beyond an initial push up means that there is absolutely no confidence in this market. We could be headed for more falls next week, and if they really snowball and people start panicking, then it could be 2008 all over again, only this time far worse. The Dax is approaching the Daily 76.4% again for the third time, so this is now the big support level. If it breaks, then it'll challenge the August lows which are on the weekly 200ema level. Personally, I don't think the crash will happen yet as I said earlier today on this thread, but the fact that the markets are selling off again this afternoon, does not bode well, and speaks volumes about the sentiment out there at the moment.

Have a nice weekend all.
