a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    EURUSD is overvalued still...and so is GBPUSD and NZDUSD whereas AUDUSD is undervalued - possibly...thus, AUDUSD may not depreciate as much as others.

    On the hand, USDCAD and USDJPY, speculators were on short-positions to prevent prices going excessively high prior to the announcement...

    I guess that's all I can say...for further analysis, I will leave it you.
    There will be high volatility in prices at the announcement, so better to set your limit/stop orders far away from the spot price. Maybe at previous day closing...anywhere that looks safe.

    Good luck guys :)

    I won't be in anything around the FOMC announcement..been burned too many times before with it running one way reversing on a dime running the other.

  5. Now, my eye is now on Pound. There is interest rate decision later during European session.
    If they stay at the current interest rate, they're likely to face the same fate as EURO - depreciation.

  7. But unlike eurusd last week, sterling pound has recovered and is currently strengthening again. So when interest rate is unchanged it has temporary impact after all.
    I don't know why euro had bigger negative impact last week when they did not change interest rate...

  9. No , in my case, I set them only for day trading. In case of news driven trade, I don't because of the initial excess volatility

    p.s.
    I've never enjoyed reading business section.
    I'd tried because my study is finance but it was difficult without a good motivation. But now I am really enjoying reading them as if reading sport section.
