wow that was one of the most volatile market events in quite awhile....the wild whipping around.
i must admit i gambled and got lucky on this one...cos it could easily have gone awry. sold 7735 bought 7710 and closed both within seconds for around 20pips each. but the spreads..woah. it was at 7750 when i pulled the trigger on the sell (32pip spread i think). although im happy now, i shall never do this again!! that was hell risky..could have lost so much instead.

I think the Aussie is now officially the strongest currency in the world.

Examine its PA across all related pair over the past few days, if all related pairs against the USD for example goes up.....eg GBP/USD, EUR/USD etc, AUD/GBP, AUD/EUR still goes up....astonishing...does anyone have a logical explanation for this?

Yes, been stating it for several days. The AUD is stronger than everything right now, except perhaps NZD. I guess what a lot of folks fail to grasp is although they both cut rates, they are both way higher than all other 6 majors. It's all in the lingo after the actual rate announcement, whether they say more to come, this is it, etc.

Its caused by a weaker USD it effects the cross rates by 2 to 3 time the amount.
check aud/nzd and aud/cad there is only marginal strength in AUD atm.

these cuts are all priced in i guess, and as pipmaster said you have to look at the statement for hints of further cutting. Plus the usd has been weak like pauly d said. Also keep in mind that the specs on the COt report flipped long a few weeks back, so we should have seen all this coming i guess

however, like a noob i've been trying to short aud/usd all week

So, many good analysts are pointing out that the USD is recovering and will even make new highs!! You guys think it will overtake the AUD in this case?

Just woke up so see that my AUDUSD short had been squeeze out at the spikey top. I use FXCM broker.
I notice that the spike is much higher at FXCM than in other broker platform.
Anyone else experience the same spiky top in other broker? What is the highest price at your broker platform?

Does that mean the spike did not go higher than the previous top?
I also got another broker and the price show that it did not take out the previous top. Only until 0.77553 at the spike high.
Only FXCM chart took out the previous top.

Mine is.7727. You are experiencing classic cheating tactics by another over "regulated" US broker. The only thing the regulations in the US do are hinder a good traders profits, they do not benefit or protect the trader in any way. The brokers under their watch basically do whatever they want.
