what an ugly priceaction on GBPUSD last 4 days. Bahhh, another 50pips in 15min... And EURUSD the same, only it's 60pips in 15min and rising. Outrageous ... Did the world got mad once again?

@Shane: I fully understand your point, Shane. My short from 1.5372 was a b/e trade and Im now waiting. USD shows a kind of weakness.

we're still below Mar 17 high at 1.5382. People freak out because all the talks and because the lastest YouGov survey. However strong the 5-day range breakout may look, the overall outlook is bearish.

Oh, w8t, now the PPI number is out and the input measure is much higher than fcast. Hmm, 1.5382 could be under attack

@montmorency: I'm watching this precious metals dirt for some time, but from the moment Andrew Maguire revealed what he knew, it's gaining a momentum. For now I'm glad to be holding some physical on a safe place because if this is going to blow, it will be probably very very ugly.

@INGbalek: I'm trading on my own plus I'm managing someone's money (a Slovak guy coincidentally). No company yet, but it'll be necessary to start one eventually. And what about you? (write me at ptaczek@gmail.com if you like so we don't mix chatting with the topic of this thread).

@montmorency: I meant 'has not a strong reaction'. It was around 50pips in first hour and around 70pips in first 3 hours. Since then it managed to gain another 40pips in slow round turnaround to end up at it's trendline broken on tuesday. I appologize for not being precise but Im a longer term trader with not so big interest in sub 100pips moves :)

@Callum: audusd is in a nice uptrend channel since the early february and it breaked above it's slight downward trendline on Tuesday (a trendline over Nov 16 and Jan 14 tops). For me this is a no-trade at this moment. The tuesday's breakout isn't playing it's direction clearly yet. Also the AUD did not pop-up on latest RBA's hike. Employment in Australia is fine but employment in US is a wild-card right now. No-trade for me, until the direction is more clear.

considering the steepness of the recent move up in both Gold and Silver, I don't think the Gold is going back below 1144 before close today. Also, since the Andrew Maguire revealed of JPM's techniques of precious metals market manipulation, there was no price takedowns or at least they were not so severe. So the question is, who's going to take the metals down now? Dollar index is basically nowhere today after making new high at 81.9. Yen is on the stronger side this week. Unless Bernanke talk up the USD today, the Gold is going to keep it's current levels.
Ashraf explained in today's IMT the POTENTIAL reasons for Gold going back down. So all I can see right now is very very mixed picture. I mean, the JPY should be weak, the USD strong, Gold should be somewhere below 1100. GBP is mixed, going sharply up and sharply down 100pips a day and only the EUR is performing as expected under the given context of Greece and potentially the Portugal.
There is something being cooked between US and China regarding Yuan flexibility. Geithner has been invited to China. So everything's slightly out of place in my view and Im very very curious about what will this and next week look like.
