g'day Ashraf ,in relation to the AUD USD question from twitter ,for what its worth here is my view. Without numbering the current wave as this is open to conjecture , a close below 7788 would signal targets of roughly 75 and then 73 .But until a close of 7788 or a close beneath the current uptrend line one must be open to the possibility that prices can go higher still .

Apologies as I double posted this in GBPCHF:

Listening to Bloomberg podcast. Ian Stannard at BNP Paripas sees Euro/CHF moving towards 155 given SNB wont tolerate further appreciation of CHF.

rational, big institutions can impact FX markets for brief period of times especially during periods of thin liquidity.

Dear Ashraf, Can Goldman Sachs manipulate the FX futures market?

jt, they may want to dissuade people from excessively shorting the market. when you know that JPMorgan has been gunning the S&P in last hour of trade last month and earlier this month, you can figure out the rest.

Ashraf,

Why are you growing increasingly suspicious about the these articles "warning" investors on the viability of leveraged bearish ETFs?

half an hour before tokyo opens and nikkei is expected to open -215 pts down. watch USD and YEN pushing to fresh session highs against all , while USDJPY may retest 95.30
