do not believe anything. everything is in the chart. learn how to read it.

 

yea i've also been seeing a shit ton of similar type comments from traders and desk all morning...kinda makes you nervous about holding dollar shorts. i think its just a waiting game now though - we gotta see how the currencies react to the next cut, and see what the ECB has to say.

i'm assuming a lot of yesterdays action (sunday late afternoon/Asia) was major panic liquidation and margin calls. the fed & BSC really caught everyone off guard releasing all that news on a weekend. volitility will probably dry up (as compared to the action the past 12 hrs) until we see what the fed does and the ECB/BOJ's response is to that.

 

Hey thanks for the advice. My mistake.
