USDCAD SSI unsurprisingly at 4.6 longs per short as pair comfortably slips below parity. No set target to downside

S&P 500 pops above 1200 for first time in 19 months, $VIX is once again below 16pct. Risk sentiment is just all kinds of impressive.

tot mai multi brokeri adopta sistemul de tranzactionare prin ECN (Electronic Communication Network) si pt.micii investitori,un lucru in opinia mea foarte bun...in primul rand pt. o mai buna transparenta,astfel poti sa beneficiezi de cele mai bune preturi din piata,ceea ce va elimina cu timpul "pipsi"dintre bid si ask(chiar daca se pune comision pe tranzactionare,taxele vor fi mult mai mici,tinand cont ca poti cumpara/vinde la cel mai bun pret din piata la o diferenta si de 0.1 pips)...iar in al 2-lea rand,dar cel mai important,vei avea acces la volume in timp real pe nivel de pret,lucru care va da o noua "fata"tranzactiilor pe forex(sunt teorii intregi de tranzactionare bazate pe volume)

ma uitam de ceva vreme pe gold...este incredibil cum apar ordine masive in bid si "inghit"tot ce gasesc in ask dupa care iarasi lasa o perioada sa se mai adune

vrei sa fi mai explicit

USD/JPY broke down sharply after Bernanke crossed up the market by making no reference to keeping rates unusually low for an extended period in his prepared remarks only to toss in the phrase in the Q&A.

The buck is showing signs of drifting slowly higher this afternoon, especially with “risky” assets performing well but USD/JPY will have trouble overcoming the area of resistance around the 93.25 level on rebounds. The move down was so sharp, no doubt there are a still dealers wearing positions from earlier in the day that they would love to shed into any strength.

We trade now at 93.10 after bouncing from near rumored 92.80 bids.

valeuuuu Seba... aia cu Level 2? Eu nu folosesc acea "facilitate" ca ... nu stiu cum. Tu o folosesti cumva sau doar te uiti acolo?

poi am vazut pe graficele tale ca folosesti indicatorul de volum "market statistics" ce face de fapt o presupunere pe nivele de pret unde ar fi volum mai mare....acuma ai posibilitatea de a vedea efectiv si volumul,nu la toti ce-i drept dar suficient ca sa-ti faci o idee mai aproape de realitate....nu tr. dacat sa urmaresti S/R urile,mai ales ca tranzactionezi i-day,si sa vezi reactia pe volum in preajma acestora

There are two ways in my opinion of making money by trading in the FX market. Firstly there’s the slow and steady approach, income generation if you will. Secondly there’s the ‘let it ride’ approach, but we’ll be kinder here and call it capital gain.
I definitely belong in this second group as I will make my money on a small number of trades each year which I get right. I build a decent sized position and then let it ride, sorry I mean accrue capital.
The technical team over at Citibank are also of the opinion that they are on a winner and they are piling up the bets, I mean trades. They’re long Gold at around $1120 from memory, they bought EUR/USD at 1.3590, they bought cable last night at 1.5425 and they are looking to sell USD/CAD for a move back to 90. If they get these right they are going to clean up.

An interbank source has said there are some big stop-loss sell orders below 125.70 in EUR/JPY and if they come into focus then the reported bids in EUR/USD below 1.3550 are likely to be tested. USD/JPY bids at 92.50 are also thought to be sizeable. Hedge funds have been very active so far this morning in the EUR/JPY so they either know something or think they know something. The Yuan revaluation whispers have become roars this morning but it is getting late in Beijing and Shanghai so if nothing happens soon then we may see a sharp rebound.

* Chinese GDP +11.9%, CPI +2.4%
* China takes fresh and harsh measures to deflate housing bubble
* EU’s Rehn: no reason to doubt German commitment to Greek aid despite possible legal challenge
* ECB’s Bini Smaghi; crisis at turning point
* German institute raise GDP forecasts, see moderate inflation, slightly lower unemployment.
* Rumours swirl of impending CNY revaluation
* Greek 10-year bond premium to German bunds rose above 400 basis points again
* Equity markets flat after early gains

The initial reaction to the Chinese GDP and CPI data was very muted but the European open saw some very aggressive selling of EUR/JPY in particular from big hedge funds as rumours swirled about an impending CNY revaluation of up to 5%. Comments from EU commissioner Olli Rehn which mentioned possible legal challenges in Germany to Greek added to the risk-off sentiment. The increasing Greek/German spread and a poor Gilt auction did not help matters.

EUR/USD opened this morning at 1.3630 after a subdued Asian session but the heavy EUR/JPY selling managed to work through bids around 1.3610/20 and then trigger stops below 1.3600 and again below 1.3585. More stops were tripped below 1.3550 as the market tried to trigger EUR/JPY stops below 125.70 but this attempt failed. The EUR/USD bids every 5 pips below 1.3530 were reportedly very heavy. Range: 1.3520/1.3635

USD/JPY fell from 93.35 to a session low of 92.89 on the back of the CNY revaluation rumours and the heavy EUR/JPY selling. Heavy bids are reported at 92.50. Ranges: USD/JPY 92.89/93.38; EUR/JPY 125.84/ 127.27

EUR/GBP had already started falling in Asia and it continued into early Europe as traders looked to close the gap from Monday morning, down to .8770. This meant that the cable was immune for a while from the events in EUR/JPY but once it broke below 1.5450, intraday and trailing stops saw it playing catch up. Ranges: cable 1.5387/1.5520; EUR/GBP .8769/.8804.

The AUD/USD has been very subdued despite all the Chinese related news and rumours and the USD/CAD has also lacked interest. Ranges: .9308/53 and .9953/1.0006

Markets: Dax and FTSE are flat. Gold has slipped 0.5% in line with the lower EUR/USD.
