Quick recap of what happen after the NFP release yesterday 1/8/16. I will explain the reason why we had good number but the dollar still weaken against the euro. We had 292k which beat expectation previous 203k, Unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.0% and Average hourly earnings expected .2% and came out .0% miss on expectation. The average hourly earnings was a disappointment to the markets because the need to see wage growth ticking up which in fact will give them confidence regarding inflation which is also below estimate or forecast. In this chart i will demonstrate where buying opportunities were if you had the knowledge and understanding of whats happening. After the NFP release we saw a spike down off the release that gave up buying opportunities when most retail traders prob was selling because the numbers came out better than expected.
Looks like the retracement has ended at 1.1200 and it's time to buy now. Look at market sentiment, all brokers are selling:
