| 6:55 | [Ad] | CMS - Integrated Pattern Recognition Tecnology View |
| 6:57 | FXstreet.com: Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to everyone all over the world. Today's Fed Interest Rates Decison will start in 5 minutes. I am really happy to introduce Nick Nasad who is going to take part in this live event today as a co-presenter. He will be giving us a direct picture for the market status. |
| 6:57 | FXstreet.com: Nick Nasad is a currency market analyst with CMS Forex for the last 3 years. He closely monitors fundamental releases and reports their results and provides commentary to the company's clients through CMS Forex's interactive economic calendar Forex Capsule and through daily Forex market video recaps. He has also written extensive educational material on using technical analysis in trading Forex. |
| 6:57 | FXstreet.com: I am pleased to announce you that today’s sponsor is CMS Forex. |
| 6:57 | Nick Nasad - CMS: Hello everyone, and thank you fxstreet for having me on again |
| 6:57 | [Comment From DUKUN FOREX] Hello |
| 6:58 | [Comment From nisar] what do u think about the rate of |
| 6:59 | Nick Nasad - CMS: The Fed is getting ready to close out its meeting today, and it will be an interesting tight rope that policymakers are trying to achieve. On the one hand, they want to show that the economy is improving, at the other hand they want to temper expectations of an interest rate increase in the coming months |
| 7:00 | Nick Nasad - CMS: It seems that this is the consensus in the financial media, and so investors and traders will be looking for other clues, including any mentions of the quantitative easing programs that the Fed is currently conducting. |
| 7:01 | Nick Nasad - CMS: that means, any mentions of its $300 billion plan to buy Treasuries. |
| 7:01 | Nick Nasad - CMS: ok, lets take a poll of your expectations |
| 7:02 | FXstreet.com: And what do you think about today's rates decission? Please, vote the poll! |
| 7:02 | Will the FOMC keep the benchmark rates? Yes, the FOMC will hold the ongoing rates ( 83% ) ( 8% ) ( 3% ) ( 0% ) ( 6% ) |
| 7:03 | [Comment From Ylberi] Hi Nick, I consider this period as consolidation, and expect no changes of interest rate for USD, following unchanged interest rate for EUR. What do you think, if the rate remains as it is now, will USD get stronger? |
| 7:04 | Nick Nasad - CMS: The rate is likely to remain the same, and the fed may point a more upbeat picture about growth which could help the greenback. |
| 7:05 | Nick Nasad - CMS: but if there is no new mention about the programs for Treasury and mortgage debt, then we may not see that big a reaction. |
| 7:05 | [Comment From arfan] what is gbp buyer expected form fed announcement ? |
| 7:06 | Nick Nasad - CMS: The GBP/USD pair came up against strong resistance at the 1.66 level overnight, and receded from there. Looking at the month of June, you can see that its the third time that we have tested that level. The first time we had a strong move in favor of the greenback (beg of June), but the send test was followed by consolidation trading the past two weeks. |
| 7:07 | Nick Nasad - CMS: We had another test of resistance overnight, and the important thing to look for is what happens at that level. We may see a return back to test the support level from the past 2 weeks (near 1.62) if the pair is not able to extend its gains from yesterday and overnight. |
| 7:08 | [Comment From INDIAN] Hi, Nasad ,how r u? what you expect EUR/USD after FED interest rates decission? |
| 7:10 | Nick Nasad - CMS: At this point, it depends whats in the statement. If the Fed statement stresses that interest rates will remain low through 2009 it could pressure the greenback |
| 7:10 | Nick Nasad - CMS: some of the greenback strength in the pair this month has been fed by the expectations that if the US returns to positive growth in the summer or fall, that the Fed will go ahead and hike rates. |
| 7:11 | Nick Nasad - CMS: but, I doubt that Fed members will want to take such a course until the recovery is under way. |
| 7:12 | Nick Nasad - CMS: we saw a very strong move in favor of the Euro yesterday, as risk sentiment improved from Monday's sell-off. |
| 7:12 | [Comment From Trader123] are we going to see 1.70 got the gbp/usd in the coming week? |
| 7:13 | Nick Nasad - CMS: Following the run up in the GBP/USD from early March to the beginnign of June, this month has been one of consolidation. It may take time for investors and traders to break out of these ranges. Like I told the other questioner before, you will have to watch what happens at the 1.66 level in the coming sessions and week(s). |
| 7:16 | Nick Nasad - CMS: those 1.70 is a nice whole number, looking at a long term picture, (daily chart), 1.75 is more a visual resistance as it acted as support then turned resistance in October, and has not yet been retested. But again, in ranging conditions, you have to wait for a break-out of resistance. |
| 7:16 | [Comment From Guest] So dollar can only strengthen or remain the same .. is there any chance of dollar weakening? |
| 7:16 | [Comment From Guest] if they say that they will keep rayes steady at least in 2009, that will be reason enough for a usd selloff? |
| 7:17 | Nick Nasad - CMS: I think the more adamant the FED statement is in that regard (holding rates low for longer) the more chance the greenback weakens. |
| 7:18 | Nick Nasad - CMS: we have also had a 61.856 retracement of the upmove in the EUR/USD since yesterday low to today's high. |
| 7:18 | [Comment From INDIAN] what is GREEN BACK, u mean? |
| 7:18 | Nick Nasad - CMS: greenback is another way to refer to the US Dollar. |
| 7:19 | [Comment From arfan] how about inflation issue nick ? any comment how it affected to GBP ? |
| 7:19 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the greenback is gaining now against its rivals,.. FED holds rates steady. |
| 7:20 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the initial reaction is the greenback gaining on its rivals. |
| 7:21 | Nick Nasad - CMS: looking at the statement now. |
| 7:21 | Nick Nasad - CMS: http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20090624a.htm |
| 7:21 | FXstreet.com: Rates on hold! |
| 7:22 | [Ad] | Trade with VT Trader™ Web from your web browser. View |
| 7:22 | Nick Nasad - CMS: "The Committee will maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and continues to anticipate that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period." |
| 7:22 | Nick Nasad - CMS: "As previously announced, to provide support to mortgage lending and housing markets and to improve overall conditions in private credit markets, the Federal Reserve will purchase a total of up to $1.25 trillion of agency mortgage-backed securities and up to $200 billion of agency debt by the end of the year. In addition, the Federal Reserve will buy up to $300 billion of Treasury securities by autumn." |
| 7:23 | Nick Nasad - CMS: this is a reiteration of their previous commitments |
| 7:24 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the beginning paragraph of the statement is a balance that says even though conditions are still difficult for households and businesses, that the pace of contraction is slowing, financial markets have improved, and that business are bringing inventory stocks back in line with sales.. |
| 7:25 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the move in favor of the greenback is then most likely a response to the FOMC nod to economic improvement. |
| 7:25 | [Comment From INDIAN] what u mean about that statement, could u plz tell usd gain or not? |
| 7:25 | [Comment From EMEKA] please...is this good or bad news short term? |
| 7:26 | Nick Nasad - CMS: its a mix of both for the greenback, and why you are not seeing strong moves in either direction. basically, the Fed has said it will keep rates low and its purchasing programs in place (2 things that are greenback negative), but also said that the economy is improving (dollar positive)., |
| 7:27 | Nick Nasad - CMS: those two factors are now being played out between dollar's bulls and bears, with the bias prior to the meeting in favor of the greenback. |
| 7:28 | Nick Nasad - CMS: directly after the release we hit new intra-day lows in teh EUR/USD and GBP/USD, as well as intra-day highs in the USD/JPY and USD/CAD, so right now the interpretation is dollar strength. |
| 7:29 | [Comment From EMEKA] like you said....a steady would not affect the market but the statement would ....right? |
| 7:30 | Nick Nasad - CMS: yes, its seems that the statement has given the markets something to work with, with the overall reaction of greenback strength. |
| 7:31 | [Comment From mike] has the usdchf bottomed with the SNB intervention?? |
| 7:31 | Nick Nasad - CMS: Mike, the EUR/CHF was definetly a big mover today, and the 1.50 level seems like the line in the sand for the SNB |
| 7:32 | Nick Nasad - CMS: I think they will continue to intervene as they feel that an appreciation of the Franc will lead to deflation pressures. |
| 7:33 | Nick Nasad - CMS: if you compare the rumored intervention on June 18th to today's you can see the SNB was much mroe aggressive. |
| 7:33 | Nick Nasad - CMS: US stocks are dipping lower, paring gains from earlier in the morning, which is also adding to greenback strength |
| 7:34 | [Comment From Guest] dear Nick , as you can see today there was a big jump in USD/CHF do you think the gain will continue ?? |
| 7:34 | Nick Nasad - CMS: i hope my answer above answered you as well. |
| 7:34 | [Comment From shariq] Hi Nick , could you give your view on eur/gbp |
| 7:35 | Nick Nasad - CMS: greenback gains are extending, as Dow Jones index falls into negative territory. |
| 7:36 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the Euro-Pound may be forming ranging conditions between 0.86 and 0.84. The pound gained today as bank stocks rose in London, which helped boost risk appetite for the Pound there. The Pound has made significant gains on the Euro the pasta several months, and it may be time for this pair to see some sideways consolidation movement. |
| 7:39 | Nick Nasad - CMS: another not from the statement is that compared to the last meeting, the Fed has eased its language regarding the risks of deflation. |
| 7:41 | [Ad] | CMS - Integrated Pattern Recognition Tecnology View |
| 7:41 | FXstreet.com: Today's Sponsor is CMS Forex |
| 7:41 | Nick Nasad - CMS: another reason the greenback is gaining is that there were some expectations that the Fed may want to step up its purchases of Treasuries (in an attempt to lower mortgage rates). They kept to their original timetable.. |
| 7:42 | [Comment From arfan] is the news bad for stock market, nick? |
| 7:44 | Nick Nasad - CMS: despite the better view of the economy, and the fact deflation concerns have seemed to recede, without direct mention that inflation is now a major concern, stocks may be responding to the lack of addition plans to stimulate credit markets or Treasury markets. Also, stocks were falling before hand after posting big gains in the morning. |
| 7:44 | [Comment From Ashish Patel] What is your view on JPY/USD? |
| 7:46 | Nick Nasad - CMS: The Dollar-Yen seems to be in a downtrend since hitting a high near 99 a couple of weeks ago. On the other hand we have very strong support at the 94 level. In a shorter look connecting the recent major highs since June 14th's high of 98.50, today's move tested that resistance. |
| 7:48 | Nick Nasad - CMS: The action this week may be a pause in the downmove seen since June 14th. Right now we are also testing a slightly upward sloping support turned resistance level from last Thursday/Monday |
| 7:49 | Nick Nasad - CMS: seems like the recent greenback gains may be short lived, but this pair has to be monitored to see how it reacts at those different trendline levels. |
| 7:49 | [Comment From FX Guy] Hey Nick, do you think there's any chances of this USD strength carrying on for the rest of the week? |
| 7:52 | Nick Nasad - CMS: hard to say. It depends on the pair. Certain pairs like the GBP/USD and USD/JPY may continue to consolidate, while the action in the EUR/USD the past two sessions shows more volatility, though no clear indication of which way the pair may go next. Instead, investor sentiments will be key in driving markets the rest of the week. |
| 7:53 | Nick Nasad - CMS: There's not that much in the way of fundamental news the rest of this week as well., |
| 7:53 | [Comment From Guest] but they said they diont have a line. strategy to take out stops from eur/chf bears? |
| 7:55 | Nick Nasad - CMS: Though they havn't said it, since beginning their intervention in March, the pair has not moved below 1.50, and the move last Thursday and today leads analysts to believe that that really is the level they are targeting. |
| 7:56 | [Comment From Anthony] Which are the critical EURUSD resistance levels now? |

| 7:57 | Nick Nasad - CMS: we saw last week that the 1.40 level was important resistance, but it was broken yesterday. above that look for today's high. |
| 7:58 | [Comment From Tarun] hey hi nick, when can we confirm a trend change in EUR/USD and GBP/USD ? do we need to wait for US GDP for tomorrow ? |
| 8:00 | Nick Nasad - CMS: for the EUR/USD yesterday's break of a downward sloping line of restisnce, adn the move above 1.40, which had been acting as resistance, along with a higher major low can point to the end of the downmove since June started. However, today's strong gains for the greenback makes me cautious. if there is a test of the upward sloping line of support connecting those two major lows, its importnat to see how traders react there. |
| 8:01 | Nick Nasad - CMS: for the GBP/USD look for the pair to break either resistance at 1.66, or support at 1.62.. Otherwise this pair is trading in a sideways range. |
| 8:01 | [Comment From Ashish Patel] Based on FED statement do you believe that it is more likely that FED increase the interest rate is last Querter of 09? If so will USD keep gaining compared to Euro? |
| 8:03 | Nick Nasad - CMS: It hard to gauge from their language alone, which remains the same as last statement. what to look for next is the fundamental data coming out regarding the health of the economy as well as inflation. If core inflation begins creeping up that may force the Fed's hand, otherwise they would like to see housing stabilize, a pickup in consumer spending, and that financial markets remains supported. |
| 8:04 | Nick Nasad - CMS: ok, the next question will be my last, |
| 8:04 | [Comment From kabby] what do you think wilhappen to the commodity market in the phase of things and considering what the FED said in the statement today |
| 8:07 | Nick Nasad - CMS: commodity markets will depend more on growth in emerging economies as China and others will begin showing growth faster than the developed economies. The Fed statement sees the US economy beginning to come around, so we can expect commodity prices to go higher as the global economy recovers. once safe-haven demand for the greenback dissipates, and if inflation becomes a major concern, then gold may see a strong rally, |
| 8:08 | Nick Nasad - CMS: OK, everyone, thank you for your questions and comments. |
| 8:09 | FXstreet.com: We have no more time today, Nick any final word? |
| 8:09 | FXstreet.com: FXstreet.com organizes this year again the International Traders Conference 2009 – October 14-16 - Barcelona (Spain) Book your seat before it's too late...

| 8:10 | FXstreet.com: www.traders-conference.com |
| 8:10 | Nick Nasad - CMS: Though the Fed statement stuck close to its wording from last month in regards to its purchase plans, the nod to an uptick in the economy, and easing of the deflation fears helped boost the greenback in the wake of the release. We shall see if these gains and dollar strength persist during the rest of the week. |

| 1:17 | What do you anticipate the outcome of NFP? Better than expected and bullish for the USD ( 57% ) ( 14% ) ( 5% ) ( 24% ) ( 0% ) |
| 1:17 | [Comment From Sunil] Good morning Nick |
| 1:17 | [Comment From sumit kumar ram] hello |
| 1:17 | Nick Nasad - CMS: hello all, so we come into today's nonfarm payroll with mild action overnight as traders await the big release. |
| 1:18 | Nick Nasad - CMS: The one currency making noise is the Pound, which is being pressured by turmoil within the Gordon Brown administration |
| 1:18 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the GBP/USD his a low of 1.6020, though it clawed back most of those losses. |
| 1:19 | Nick Nasad - CMS: For today's jobs data, expectations are for around 520K to be shed by the US economy |
| 1:19 | Nick Nasad - CMS: thats a high number, but much lower than the results we saw early in the first quarter, where January's figure was down something like 741K. |
| 1:20 | Nick Nasad - CMS: recently, positive US data has been correlated with increased risk appetite which has weakened the dollar, and a better than expected print would be the logical way to think about today's event. |
| 1:20 | [Ad] | CMS - Integrated Pattern Recognition Tecnology View |
| 1:21 | Nick Nasad - CMS: however, some of that connection has faded recently, mainly as the run-up against the dollar may be overextended compared to the growth and earnings forecasts for the near future. |
| 1:21 | Nick Nasad - CMS: The Dollar is trading slightly higher against the Yen and Loonie overnight, while the EUR/USD is treading water. |
| 1:22 | Nick Nasad - CMS: let me get to some questions now as we have about 8 minutes before the release. |
| 1:22 | [Comment From Naz] How do you think GBP will react after the ? |
| 1:23 | Nick Nasad - CMS: The Pound is dealing with its own factors like i mentioned above, and seems to have found support after sliding almost 650 pips since Wed. high. |
| 1:23 | Nick Nasad - CMS: connecting the recent highs since that peak, we set up a short term line of resistance that the Pound seems eager to test |
| 1:23 | [Comment From miqglen] Hi Nick, Your opinion if NFP come as expected or better and unemployment rate come worst, what next for USD? |
| 1:24 | Nick Nasad - CMS: thats a very good question, as that result can have contradictory forces. I think ahigher unemployment rate will bring to the front the problem that all the major countries will have once any recovery starts, and that is high unemployment which will stifle consumer spending. |
| 1:25 | Nick Nasad - CMS: following our recent rallies against the greenback in March and April, it seems that investors and traders this week took time to really think about wether things are as good as equity markets are making them out to be.. |
| 1:26 | Nick Nasad - CMS: still, a better than expected job loss figure will support risk appetite with the unemployment rate a more medium term indicator |
| 1:26 | [Comment From mike] hello everyone!! was Canada expecting those negative employment numbers?Is this a limit for the loonie strength? |
| 1:27 | Nick Nasad - CMS: though the job loss data in Canada was higher than expected, the fact that it was negative was not a surprise. The Loonie is one of those currencies that has rallied very strongly teh past month, and seems to have made a double bottom at the 1.08 level. |

| 1:27 | Nick Nasad - CMS: it retested support turned resistance at 1.1150, so those two levels can form the basis for a sideways channel if consolidation is called for in this pair. |
| 1:27 | [Comment From Dusan] Hello Nick, NFP report is not such a big market moover anymore as it was some time ago. It is like lotery draw for FX traders. What is your opionion today - will EUR/USD pair go up or down after toaday NFP data release? |
| 1:28 | Nick Nasad - CMS: though its not completely a crap shoot as better numbers in the US tended to favor risk appetite and therefore boost the EUR/USD |
| 1:29 | Nick Nasad - CMS: that would be my expectation going into the release again. however, the markets seem ready for some pullback in favor of greenback strength.. |
| 1:30 | Nick Nasad - CMS: Euro is jumping already |
| 1:30 | Nick Nasad - CMS: wow.. -345K |
| 1:31 | Nick Nasad - CMS: that should help risk appetite and the initial reaction is towards risk appetite and higher yielders moving higher. |
| 1:31 | FXstreet.com: Actual -325K vs Forecast -520K . Unemployment rate 9.4% |
| 1:31 | Nick Nasad - CMS: smallest drop in payroll since sept. 08 |
| 1:32 | Nick Nasad - CMS: this is a very good sign for the US labor market, showing that the recession is easing. |
| 1:32 | FXstreet.com: Actual -345K vs Forecast -520K . Unemployment rate 9.4% |
| 1:32 | [Comment From mrcable] continued usd verbal intervention will dampen the usd selloff today, if it will be the case. |
| 1:32 | [Comment From Alfredo] -345K will be a big bust for EUR ? |
| 1:33 | Nick Nasad - CMS: greenback is weakening, except against the yen |
| 1:33 | Nick Nasad - CMS: as this number will push the theme that things are getting better, which puts pressure on teh greenback as its safe haven status is shrinking by the day. |
| 1:34 | [Comment From zaphy] hello mr cable! no chance for 'come on cable, tank' today :) |
| 1:34 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the Pound broke up through the short term downward sloping supportline, |
| 1:35 | Nick Nasad - CMS: EUR/USD may want to retest its high from Wed. we cleared all the other restistnace levels just now. |
| 1:35 | Nick Nasad - CMS: ok, the initial wave of buying higher yielders has paused.. |
| 1:35 | [Comment From Darren] what level should we be seeing for eurusd today? |
| 1:36 | Nick Nasad - CMS: 1.43 if not 1.4330, though right now we are seeing a pause as traders are profit taking after the initial jump. |
| 1:38 | Nick Nasad - CMS: in a short time frame last 10 minutes, plot some fibo levels and look for a correction to 23.6% - we are there now. 38.2% is better. |
| 1:38 | [Comment From Anthony] Any opinion on whether GBP/JPY could break 160.00? If so, what is next major area of resistance? |
| 1:39 | [Ad] | Trade with VT Trader™ Web from your web browser. View |
| 1:40 | Nick Nasad - CMS: we are still correcting to the initial knee jerk reaction, but looks like the bears may be losing steam and we can have a second wave now of higher yielder strength. |
| 1:41 | Nick Nasad - CMS: but the lack of follow in the EUR/USD so far following such a good number is a cause for concern in that pair. |
| 1:41 | Nick Nasad - CMS: in other pairs, the USD/JPY is back at its high, |
| 1:42 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the yen seems to be coming under pressure, taking a look at the EUR/JPY, for longer term traders, we had a strong break of resistance |
| 1:43 | [Comment From Guest] though yen has broken 97.25 region, do u think it can stay above that level for today's close??? |
| 1:43 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the reaction for stocks in the US should be positive, which should support the greenback against the Yen |
| 1:44 | Nick Nasad - CMS: we had a very nice consolidation pattern in the USD/JPy earlier in the week that was broken on the upside, so this move above the level you mention has merit |
| 1:44 | Nick Nasad - CMS: we have retraced 50% of the EUR/USD's initial move.. |
| 1:45 | [Comment From Mike] Where do you see USD/CHF going from here?. |
| 1:46 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the initial move in this pair was rejected rather strongly, so it doesn't seem that the swissy will be gaining here. |
| 1:46 | [Comment From jaya] 'Any opinion on whether GBP/JPY could break 160.00? If so, what is next major area of resistance? ' |
| 1:47 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the Pound will continue to be pressured as long as the political situation there is uncertain. the pair may have further consolidation to go through, below the 160 level. |
| 1:48 | Nick Nasad - CMS: well, the correlation of good news from the US weakening the greenback seems to be gone and today's data is giving the dollar strength |
| 1:48 | Nick Nasad - CMS: that was a huge whipsaw |
| 1:50 | Nick Nasad - CMS: in the EUR/USD. that shows you the importance of having a trading plan and several confirmations before entering a trade. its enticing to trade short time frames on fundamental releases, but it can be much riskier. |
| 1:51 | [Comment From Dusan] It seems that EUR/USD pair follows the many times proven way at NFP release day. The first move - today up - is usually in the oposite direction, that the rest of sesion - it would mean today EUR/USD down. What is your opinion? |

| 1:52 | Nick Nasad - CMS: yes, seems like a case of a clear out action, where traders and bigger instuitutions pump up the price, but then with orders in teh 1.4250 range on the sell side, we have had a complete reversal. |
| 1:52 | [Comment From Guest] can you give your opinion on GBP/USD ? |
| 1:53 | Nick Nasad - CMS: After breaking through short term resistance the pair has come back down into its range and we have a a very strong move towards dollar strength. |
| 1:53 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the data supports the theme that the US economy may not only be seeing its recession easing, but that if the labor market begins to recover, the overall economy may be on its way to recovery as well. that can have very good implications for 2nd quarter and 3rd quarter growth numbers. |
| 1:53 | [Comment From ashish patel] Shall not USD become stronger now based on good news coming out from US, where as Europe & others are still have not bottomed out in recession? Also, USD have corrected the strength aquired becaused of safe heaven now. What is your view on this. |
| 1:54 | Nick Nasad - CMS: that is very good analysis ashish, we are seeing that coming through in the price action as the greenback is finally seeing strength following a strong release. |
| 1:54 | [Comment From Anthony] I suppose the reasoning behind the moves, is that the employment report can give fuel to the arguement of the US recovering first. |
| 1:55 | Nick Nasad - CMS: exactly. though if this is a one day reaction, or if it will persist into next week will be something to watch. |
| 1:56 | [Comment From zaphy] What can be the factors for such a dramatic improvement in NFP? Surely, the economy has not imroved that much to retain ~200K? |
| 1:56 | Nick Nasad - CMS: from Dow Jones News: "The Labor Dept.'s estimate of the net change in jobs associated with business starts and closings added 220,000 jobs in May, says Andrew Brenner of MF Global. That gain would be a big reason for the smaller-than-expected loss of overall jobs in May." |
| 1:58 | [Comment From Sagheer] an i hold USD/CAD possition |
| 1:59 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the USD/CAD had a very strong buy signal following its double bottom earlier in teh week, whose neckline was tested as support as yesterday's low.. this is one pair where there is alot of room for a pullback from the steep decent it has seen the past two months |
| 2:00 | Nick Nasad - CMS: it seems that traders never really retested the 1.15 level after it was broken May 20th, and if greenback strength continues into next week, we can see the greenback retest that level. |
| 2:00 | Nick Nasad - CMS: now, a recovery in the US will help other economies as well, and the ones most likely to benefit will be commodity currencies like the Loonie and Aussie, so that is one counter factor to keep in mind. |
| 2:01 | [Comment From zaphy] In that case, this may well be a temporary improvement, and we'll be getting 500K next month again? |
| 2:01 | Nick Nasad - CMS: zaphy, its very wise to not take one month of data as the start of a new trend, and the unemployment rate continues to climb |
| 2:02 | Nick Nasad - CMS: so, the reaction is very strong today as traders digest its meeting, but its important to keep an eye on how the fundamentals shape the next month. |
| 2:02 | [Comment From ray smith] now who said non farm not a major mover anymore? lol |
| 2:03 | [Comment From Guest] can i go for long (sell) on GBP/USD ? |
| 2:04 | Nick Nasad - CMS: i dont want to tell you to buy or sell, as you should have a trading system in place that gives you the signals you need, one thing can say is the almost 200 pip slide since we hit 1.6240 is now coming up against our support from overnight. |
| 2:05 | Nick Nasad - CMS: theres alot of trading still to go today, but we may have priced in the reaction on the greenback side by now. though if we slip to that support it will be very interesting to see what will happen. |
| 2:05 | [Comment From Vikas] Do you expect the Aussie to keep up the steady climb it has shown iver the past 14 weeks? |
| 2:06 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the aussie's rally has been based on fundamentals moreso than the Euro's which was based on greenback weakness.. growth numbers for australia for the 1st quarter were positive, economies that it depends on to export like China are recovering and commodity prices are going up. |
| 2:07 | Nick Nasad - CMS: all of those factors support aussie strength, but what started this week may be the beginning of a correction to that rally you mention |
| 2:07 | [Comment From ray smith] might break into 1.3900 for euro |
| 2:07 | [Comment From ray smith] I look for a retracement before doing that |
| 2:08 | [Comment From Dr. Rob] Hi Nick and welcome. Where do you think the true value of cable is, current political problem notwithdtanding? Is it around 1.68, 1.74 or maybe even higher around 2.0 as in the time just before the credit crunch crisis? |
| 2:09 | Nick Nasad - CMS: in the more medium term, the cable's rise has also had fundamental factors behind it, mainly what looks like improvement in that country's housing sector and just this past month we saw services PMI move back to expansionary territory. of course alot of that growth is fueled by the quantitative easing the bank is doing. |
| 2:10 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the pressures on the greenback however are very real, as its creditworthiness and inflation concerns will dog it for the medium term. therfore the cable as you say has more room to climb, though we seem to be starting a correction to the rally we have seen since march. |
| 2:11 | Nick Nasad - CMS: though i dont think we are going to come back to the 2:1 level anytime soon, i think the true value is somewhere higher than our recent high of 1.66. In comparison the the Euro-zone the economy seems to be moving out of its recession quicker. |
| 2:12 | [Comment From ray smith] Well I made my money today. Have a great day, weekend and happy trading |
| 2:12 | Nick Nasad - CMS: glad to hear it, you too |
| 2:12 | [Comment From nagalla] Comments from Fed's Lockhart being credited for the USD come-back, he said Fed should not wait too long to tighten monetary policy. if so what will happen next week for EUR and GBP? |
| 2:14 | Nick Nasad - CMS: i think fed officials need to pay lip service to help maintain a stronger dollar. the only way to tighten monetary policy is if the economy was on its way to recovery., raising rates can choke off credit and investment just as things are rebounding. "should not wait too long" is relative, but tehre are concerns of stoking inflation if they are kept too low for too long so its a smart thing to say.. |
| 2:15 | Nick Nasad - CMS: if that theme catches on, because signs point to a faster than expected recovery, the greenback woudl be supported. |
| 2:15 | [Comment From arfan] do u think GBP/USD bearish still continue nick ? |
| 2:16 | FXstreet.com: Sorry guys. we have just 15 minutes left.. Do not miss a chance to ask Nick! |
| 2:17 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the 1.60 level is strong support, but if you look at a daily view, we have three red candles in a row, and the run up since march has room to fall |
| 2:17 | Nick Nasad - CMS: the EUR/USD has foudn support from yesterday's low. |
| 2:17 | [Comment From mike] do you think we have started a short term dollar's momentum that could last few days,or is this only a reaction to the news? |
| 2:18 | Nick Nasad - CMS: there are some signs in pairs like the USD/JPY and USD/CAD adn now the GBP/USD that that could be the case. |
| 2:18 | [Ad] | CMS - Integrated Pattern Recognition Tecnology View |
| 2:19 | Nick Nasad - CMS: that we can have a more sustained greenback rally, however after the short term traders have there way in today's trading, we'll see what the market reaction will be from more longer term traders following teh weekend. |
| 2:19 | [Comment From taiyo] but i tout wen rate is bad us sould be pressured |
| 2:20 | Nick Nasad - CMS: if u are referring to the unemployment rate, today's data is more focused on the actual job losses figure which was exepcted to be around -520K but turned out to be -345K.. thats a much better than expected release, and today is supporting the greenback. |
| 2:21 | Nick Nasad - CMS: im getting alot of questions and im sorry if i dont get to answer yours, |
| 2:21 | Nick Nasad - CMS: i have time for several more.. but i just wanted to say thank you for you active participation |
| 2:21 | Nick Nasad - CMS: even if i didnt choose your particular question |
| 2:21 | [Comment From Redstar] EUR is going down real fast |
| 2:22 | FXstreet.com: NFPs Actual -345K vs Forecast -520K . Unemployment rate 9.4% |
| 2:22 | Nick Nasad - CMS: yes, the support from yesterday did not hold at all, and we are now at a new weekly low |
| 2:22 | [Comment From ashish patel] if we see USD strengh due to faster then expected recovery, then what is view on USD JPY pair? can it break 100 level.? |
| 2:22 | [Comment From Redstar] do you fancy JPY to test 100? |
| 2:23 | Nick Nasad - CMS: yes, i think since we bounced off the 94 level a couple of weeks ago, the relationship we all grew to love about equities and the USD/JPY seems to have returned. therefore, better news for the US economy, and thereby stocks is helping the USD |
| 2:24 | Nick Nasad - CMS: today's rally stalled at the trendline connecting the highs from April 6th and May 8th |
| 2:24 | Nick Nasad - CMS: if we hav a break of that, we shoudl see teh pair move to close to the 100 level. |
| 2:24 | [Comment From Redstar] EUR has broken yesterday's support... what's the new support level? |
| 2:26 | Nick Nasad - CMS: 1.40 is a 61.8% retracement of the rally from 1.38 to 1.433 so lets see if we get there today. in a slightly longer view, the 1.3850 area was our low from last week, |
| 2:26 | [Comment From arfan] which one that have better economic condition recently. US, UK or EU nick? |
| 2:27 | Nick Nasad - CMS: i would say a couple of months ago it was the UK, though now the US is coming up close behind. that is of course because the central banks have acted aggressively to lower rates and pump money into the economy. the ECB has been slower to react, but it has a more complicated coordination effort as it has to take into account many countries viewpoints. |

| 2:30 | FXstreet.com: Thank you Nick for the fantasitc market analysis. You are one of the bests!. We really appreciate you. Thank you! |
| 2:30 | Nick Nasad - CMS: so, keep an eye on US equities and the response there, and whether risk appetite in equities will materialize and how that will affect the greenback strength. |
| 2:31 | Nick Nasad - CMS: today's data can really shift the debate to traders eyeing a quicker than expected recovery in the US, which will support the greenback in the week's to come. of course we need more corrobarting data, and we have to see what happens next month with payrolls.. in the meantime check the weekly jobless claims figures for further improvement in the US labor market. |

| 11:49 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi guest, we still have 15 minutes till first one, in England! |
| 11:50 | Valeria Bednarik: and another other and a half for europe rates |
| 11:50 | Will the BoE cut the bench mark interest rate? Yes, the BoE will cut it by 25bps to 0.25%. ( 9% ) ( 0% ) ( 82% ) ( 0% ) ( 9% ) |
| 11:50 | Tim Salem: Now... keep in mind that All THREE... the BoE, ECB, and later today...The Bank of Canada, are all expected to Hold Rates.... So our Keys and Focus will be Policy Contingencies on where they go from here!... |
| 11:50 | [Comment From DUKUN FOREX] Hello everybody |
| 11:50 | [Comment From AdyB] so does this mean ... the market will remain flat ? |
| 11:51 | Valeria Bednarik: Ho AdyB I don't expect much reaccions on Gbp, regarding rates, more due to political woes regarding European Parlament changes. |
| 11:51 | [Ad] | CMS - Integrated Pattern Recognition Tecnology View |
| 11:51 | Valeria Bednarik: besides, in England, the minutes will be publish in about 2 weeks. |
| 11:52 | Tim Salem: Hi AdyB... Yes...you will see "muted" and "quiet" Price action as we move forward until the Decisions... as Institutions Re-Position for any changes they hear in Rhetoric and Policy. |
| 11:52 | Valeria Bednarik: However in Europe, Trichet speech as always, could bring some surprises |
| 11:52 | [Comment From Guest] How do you think this will effect the Euro/USD? |
| 11:53 | Tim Salem: Val is 100% Correct here... Trichet's Press Conference is ALWAYS the Leader of the ECB Policy here.... |
| 11:53 | FXstreet.com: BoE and ECB preview reports by our exclusive provider RANsquawk |
| 11:53 | [Comment From Guest] hi Valeria if 1.6450 Breakss? does it go to 1.6600 |
| 11:54 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi guest! I rather see stronger resistance aroun 1.6490.. that'st the level to watch to see Gbp rise again |
| 11:55 | Tim Salem: Guest...If they Hold which they are expected to do... any Commentary on expanding the Q.E. Program will be Bearish for the Euro as they Pump Funds and Liquidity into the System... but remember... The ECB is notoriously Stubborn in their Stance...of a "wait and See" Policy. |
| 11:55 | [Comment From Guest] Will confirmation make the euro go up? |
| 11:55 | [Comment From DUKUN FOREX] Do you think EUR/USD could break 1.4340 level by today ? |
| 11:55 | FXstreet.com: 4 minutes to go |
| 11:56 | Tim Salem: Dukun...I do in the near-Term... dependent on Trichet's Commentary... as this is a little Wide immediately after the Decision.... |

| 11:57 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Dunkun, I believe key support for euro is closer to 1.4100, while, 1.4340 is a bit to far to be broken today. |

| 11:57 | [Comment From miqglen] The cable keep rate, where will go? |
| 11:57 | [Comment From Ahmar] Tim, Where do you see the trend for gbp and euro heading? |
| 11:57 | Tim Salem: I would be Mindful of 1.41 Static Support to 1.40...before 1.4340's/1.4400..... |
| 11:57 | FXstreet.com: Forex Trading Today by Tim Salem (CVJ) |
| 11:57 | FXstreet.com: The Advisor Blog by Valeria Bednarik |
| 11:58 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi miqglen! Gbp is quite bullish so, above the mentioned level, there are good chances of continuation |
| 11:58 | [Comment From shoora] hi, do you think the range of price oscillations in EUR/USD and GBP/USD will exceed 200 pips? |
| 11:58 | [Ad] | Trade with VT Trader™ Web from your web browser. View |
| 11:59 | Tim Salem: Ahmar... Both Units are Bullish on the larger Views.... Remember... retracements are neccessary and needed at this point... but we can feasibly see 1.45 in Euro and 1.70 in Cable with relative ease..... in the Mid-Term...... So out Trends here are certainly not out of Steam..... |
| 11:59 | Valeria Bednarik: Not for me, really, what about you Tim? Market will remain a but cautious ahead of Wall Street and tomorrows Payrolls |
| 11:59 | [Comment From Alex] Hi Valeria/Tim, with BOE expected to hold rates and also no further additional QE measures, this will mean bullish for GBP? |
| 12:00 | FXstreet.com: the BoE has decided to hold the ongoing benchmark rates at 0.50% |
| 12:00 | Valeria Bednarik: As Tim has just mentioned, both currencies are bullish.. as long as key supports longer term ones, remain intact. we coudl see some corrective moovements to the downside but not much more |
| 12:00 | Tim Salem: Alex... Yes... as the BoE has Inflationary concerns largely "In Check" relatively speaking... and we have significant Strength there to Build upon... |
| 12:00 | [Comment From DUKUN FOREX] ok, thank you |
| 12:00 | [Comment From tomchain] trichet in europe? |
| 12:01 | Valeria Bednarik: Yes, later in Europe |
| 12:01 | FXstreet.com: The BoE has decided to hold the ongoing benchmark rates at 0.50% |
| 12:01 | Valeria Bednarik: Ok! rates on hold, and Gbp at 1.6390 |
| 12:01 | Tim Salem: 125B Pounds of Assets to be bought in 2 months from the BoE as Rates are Held.... |
| 12:01 | Valeria Bednarik: Not much of a reaction yet slightly bullish |
| 12:01 | [Comment From Guest] Many are mentioning 1.47 as target, how do you view this? |
| 12:02 | Valeria Bednarik: Above previous high, seems likely. |
| 12:02 | Tim Salem: Now.. watch your 1.6420's Resistance Area here for any DELAYED movement.... |
| 12:02 | Valeria Bednarik: as is close to the 61.8% retracement of the weekly fall 1.6018/1.2330 |
| 12:02 | FXstreet.com: The Advisor Blog by Valeria Bednarik |
| 12:02 | [Comment From phil] watch for a big retracement on eur usd below 1.40 |
| 12:02 | FXstreet.com: Forex Trading Today by Tim Salem (CVJ) |
| 12:03 | Tim Salem: We do have a Bull Flag Formation here on the Hourly that may wish to Complete and Breach th towards the 1.6450's in the Immediate-Term..... |
| 12:03 | Valeria Bednarik: yes Phil, big retracement, aproaching to 1.3500 area, could well happen under 1.4000 zone |
| 12:03 | [Comment From Ali] Don't you think EUR will give 100-200 pips correction in a day or two given bearish divergence on MACD on 4 hr charts?? |
| 12:03 | FXstreet.com: FXstreet.com organizes this year again the International Traders Conference 2009 – October 14-16 - Barcelona (Spain) Book your seat before it's too late...

| 12:03 | FXstreet.com: International Traders Conference 2009 – October 14-16 - Barcelona (Spain) |
| 12:04 | Valeria Bednarik: Ali, I see a strong really strong bullish trend. or better said, dollar bearish momentum. |
| 12:04 | Valeria Bednarik: As Tim mentioned, corrections are due to come after this long movements, so, wait bor break of important support zones |
| 12:05 | [Comment From sumit kumar ram] what do think about gbp/usd and gbp/jpy |
| 12:05 | Will the ECB low the bench mark interest rate? Yes, the ECB will cut it by 25bps ( 13% ) ( 3% ) ( 10% ) ( 70% ) ( 0% ) ( 3% ) |
| 12:05 | Tim Salem: Ali..It cetainly can... but again.. this Directionality will largely rest on Trichet's Views on addtional Quantitative Easing Concerns and Activity..... Technical Divergence is certainly merited here... but in this Climate... Macro0Rhetoric will take Precedence.... |
| 12:05 | [Comment From ifxworld] With solid divergence signals appearing in most USD crosses, also hovering in oversold levels, clear EUR/USD 4-hour Head & Shoulder formation, are you seeing some possible dollar bullish bias behind the release? |
| 12:06 | Tim Salem: The Yen Crosses still look to correct Across The Board here... so watch the U.S. Equities markets for Correlating Activity there... The Dow and The S&P.... |
| 12:06 | [Ad] | CMS - Integrated Pattern Recognition Tecnology View |
| 12:07 | Valeria Bednarik: You are right IFXworld, as we mention we have dollar over sold across the board, and nice divergences |
| 12:07 | FXstreet.com: The BoE leaves the bench mark rate unchanged at 0.50% |
| 12:07 | Valeria Bednarik: And expecting due corrections, still no signlas on that. |
| 12:08 | Valeria Bednarik: Being over sold, does not mean correction will begin right now. |
| 12:08 | Tim Salem: IFX... We have seen Dollar Strength to such an extent already... that another firece Downleg caused from Dollar Strength may not be quite as deep in the Immediate-Term.... Near-Term?.. Sure... I would favor it..... simply due to a larget macro-Correction as The Dollar and Yen both abosrb some of the Risk-Averseion that we may continue to see..... |
| 12:08 | Valeria Bednarik: better wait for some confirmation like mentioned break under 1.4100 in euro, or the 1.6230 zone for Gbp |
| 12:09 | [Comment From sumit kumar ram] hello |
| 12:09 | Tim Salem: Be Mindful though... that from an IntraDay Perspective...We are still locked in some larger Ranges on most Major Units... |
| 12:09 | [Comment From phil] this is what i'm watching Ali and i think after ECB this is likely to happen |
| 12:09 | [Comment From sumit kumar ram] so your mean gbp/usd up side |
| 12:09 | [Comment From siva] can we ytd highs in GBP\USD today? |
| 12:10 | Tim Salem: Cable may look towards the 1.6500 Handle...but not as a result of today's Data or Rhetoric, Kumar.... |
| 12:10 | FXstreet.com: The Advisor Blog by Valeria Bednarik |
| 12:10 | FXstreet.com: Forex Trading Today by Tim Salem (CVJ) |
| 12:10 | FXstreet.com: International Traders Conference 2009 – October 14-16 - Barcelona (Spain) |
| 12:11 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Siva, yes I expect gbp to rise a bit, at least, from a technical perspective, 4 hours charts are pretty bullish. 20 SMA AROUND 1.6420 is our first resistance from actual price. Clear break or confirmation above, will trigger some upside momentum there |
| 12:12 | Valeria Bednarik: Market remains quiet after first spike.. majors are consolidating not much to add, but I see euro a bit bearish than GBP, |
| 12:12 | Tim Salem: In the Immediate-Term... watch for the then return to the Dynamic Support at the 1.6260's.... We may simply hover in this Range here... Val's 1.6420's Resistance...to my 1.6260's Support... as we are still in a minor Range there..... |
| 12:12 | [Comment From miqglen] CVJ, Val, your opinion for Usd Vs Swiss in daily chart. Can USD reverse in few next days |
| 12:13 | Valeria Bednarik: We have been talking about that for days. as Swissy is higly related with gold prices, and gold aproachead to 1000, swissy strength. |
| 12:14 | Valeria Bednarik: Despite pair should correct, to be honest, I still don't see clear signals of reversion, and I rather wait for a retest of the 1.0550 zone... or a break above 1.0800 to attemp longer term trades to the upside. |
| 12:14 | [Comment From mike] hello,do you think eurusd could go back to the 1.30's in the near term as a part of a correction? |
| 12:15 | Tim Salem: Miqglen..Indeed!...In my persoanl View... due to the Directional Flight of The Swissy... a decent Correctin for the Unit is due there.... Seeing such Swiss Strength against The Dollar is not too common...and we have significant Basing and Consolidation on the Pair...so certainly something to be Mindful of..... Watch for additional deeper Corrections in Gold for a Time Cycle on a potential Swissy Turn..... |
| 12:15 | [Comment From phil] we are approaching sell off euro/usd zone ... |
| 12:16 | Valeria Bednarik: yes phil! smaller time frames show the pair oversold, should rebound a bit to the upside, at least in this first attempt |
| 12:16 | [Comment From Guest] GBP is down now could it touch 1.6300 |
| 12:16 | Tim Salem: Mike... You sound like a Longer-Term Person after my own heart... hee hee..... I do... Of course know one knows for sure... But The Euro falling to the 1.30's by the 4th Quarter of the year would not be surprising at all..... |
| 12:17 | [Comment From phil] hey mike i'm conviced eur/usd will trade back to 1.30 area within next couple of month |
| 12:17 | [Comment From mike] thanks . |
| 12:18 | FXstreet.com: Enthusiastic and entertaining coaching by Rob Booker - All ITC 2007 Videos! |
| 12:18 | Tim Salem: The macro-Strength of both The Euro and The Queen will rest upon the Continuation of "consistent" Data Point improvement.... as Inflationary and Deflationary Concerns come into View with all of these Printing Presses running 24/7 all of the World...... |
| 12:18 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Guess! not yet... we could see some choppy movements till ECB's |
| 12:19 | [Comment From Guest] This sell-off of the euro is a buying opportunity |
| 12:19 | Valeria Bednarik: Short term no doubts.. already did rebounded |
| 12:19 | [Comment From siva] if non-form payrolls data shows positive then dollar will get weak or strong? |
| 12:20 | Tim Salem: Yes Guest... same with Cable...If you are a Trend Trader...then you will look for the Corrections as Buying UOpportunities to be in concert with these Trends..... |
| 12:20 | Valeria Bednarik: Siva, US positive data, is pushing stocks and futures highers, and that is pushing high yieldings up. good US data, will made dollar fall more likely |
| 12:20 | [Comment From mike] strong eur may be a concern for eurozone recovery,I guess |
| 12:21 | Valeria Bednarik: Yes mike, i believe the same. Still we cannot deny current trend. As we have been saying, downside movements remain as corrections.. |
| 12:21 | [Comment From petrick] what is your comment on the usd/chf? has it hit the bottom yet? |
| 12:21 | Tim Salem: Siva... a Double-Agent Question... as it is Counter-Intuitive... It will deopend on the Numbers INSIDE the Headline Numbers.... as NFP Consensus looks a bit better than last month... but this "counter-Intuition" will more than likely be Dollar Negative... |
| 12:21 | [Comment From EuroBull] Thank you Tim |
| 12:22 | Valeria Bednarik: Petrick, look above, we already comment that. |
| 12:22 | [Comment From HARI] hi Valeria, what about USD/YEN? |
| 12:22 | [Comment From mohd] DO you think that a break down 1.4100 is sell zone for EURUSD |
| 12:22 | Tim Salem: The Old Days of "normal" NFP Data from 2005 and 2006 are long gone... a completely different Set of Criteria these recent Months to be aware of.... |
| 12:23 | FXstreet.com: The Advisor Blog by Valeria Bednarik |
| 12:23 | FXstreet.com: Forex Trading Today by Tim Salem (CVJ) |
| 12:23 | Tim Salem: mohd... Very possible there... but watch for the Hourly 200SMA and Support Confluence at the 1.4060's to Hold..... |
| 12:24 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Hari! dolar yen is in awide range, not to clear at this point. Longer time frames look bearish, yet pair has broke to the upside a 4 hours descendnat line. I see a key resistance at 97.20 zone. If breaks above, we have some chances to see it rising further to the 98.50 zone. |
| 12:24 | Valeria Bednarik: And even there, we will still be inside the wide range |
| 12:24 | [Comment From mike] thanks...... |
| 12:25 | Valeria Bednarik: On the other hand, break under 93.00, will confirm the falling trend, yet seems too far today, and pair has reboundend heavily from lows. |
| 12:25 | [Comment From EuroBull] How do you see AUD/JPY? |
| 12:26 | [Comment From mohd] thanks Tim |
| 12:26 | [Comment From Guest] hi Valeria, would like to ask how far do u think eur/usd will drop till after the ECB has released the decision? |
| 12:26 | [Ad] | CMS - Integrated Pattern Recognition Tecnology View |
| 12:27 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi guest! i don't expect it tobreak under 1.4100 usually majors don't break key supports in this moments before the release |
| 12:27 | [Comment From indian] There will be huge corrections in EURO and GBP. The current time is to remain awake, watch the markets as big opportunities are coming to make a lot of money. |
| 12:28 | Tim Salem: EB... Aussie Yen is hovering right on Dynamic Support at the 77.40's... as you have a nice Hourly Bar Flag there... Watch for the Consolidation-Break...as 76.15 is in Sight... and Sentiment is Bearish in Favor.... as is the case with all the Major Yen Crosses.... |
| 12:28 | Valeria Bednarik: Is a view Indian, no doubts. |
| 12:28 | [Comment From bijay] what about gbp/jpy.....any sign of shorts,,,,,,?????. |
| 12:28 | Tim Salem: EuroBull... Bear.... not Bar.... sorry for the mis-spelling... ;-) |
| 12:28 | [Comment From nagalla] what will happen if ECB cuts rates surprisingly and hike QE? |
| 12:30 | Valeria Bednarik: Nagalla, last cuts have send Euro to the upside in the intraday, and back down next days. Previous reactions don't guarantee future ones, but seems likely to be repeated today |
| 12:30 | [Comment From jimmy] eur/usd sure to hit 1.6 soon |
| 12:30 | Valeria Bednarik: Seems a bit too much for me Jimmy.. but well, is an opinion. |
| 12:30 | [Comment From sumit kumar ram] yes am indian |
| 12:30 | [Comment From shoora] what do you think of Dr. Sivaraman's post about the expected moves in Euro and Pound before and after the data release? |
| 12:30 | Tim Salem: Bijay... Pound Yen shorts will favor waiting for at least Contact with the 160.50's Static Resistance... as you need the ATR of the Unit to pull you out of the 154.60's - 159.20's Range..... So be Patient... especially with my "Girlfriend", Pound Yen....  |
| 12:32 | Valeria Bednarik: Sorry Shoora, I dont' read today's post! but you should ask him. |
| 12:32 | [Comment From Alex] i think ECB will maintain rates but will hike QE which will be bearish for EURUSD... |
| 12:32 | [Comment From FXMau] Why USDCAD is rising ahead ECB? |
| 12:32 | [Comment From mike] nagalla,i think eur will plummet |
| 12:34 | Valeria Bednarik: FXMau, Cad had run big dollowing oil prices. I see this just as a correction to the overextend rally to the downside. |
| 12:34 | [Comment From INDIAN] The pain of the fall in USD was there Yesterday and on Monday, I am acquiring more positions and we hope that many people must have taken this fall as an opportunity of buying. Those who wanted to buy USD,shouldn't miss current price because according me you are getting dollar at free and you may not see this price again in the next 6 months to come. |
| 12:34 | Tim Salem: Alex... I am in personal Agreement with you... We know the "stubborn" and independent Naute of the ECB...and now they are having to deal with coming late to the "QE Party" without a Gift..... The Eu does not see the glimpses of Data Stabilization that even the UK does... So these Subjects will be approached by Trichet..in my personal view... or at least Should be... |
| 12:35 | [Comment From EuroBull] I say buy all the Euros you can... |
| 12:35 | [Comment From EuroBull] s set much much higher. |
| 12:35 | [Comment From Guest] how many pips trading range are days of such important announcements? |
| 12:36 | [Comment From EuroBull] Thank you Tim, for Aud/JPY |
| 12:36 | [Comment From D] what is the pip range of euro usd on these kind of annoucnements |
| 12:36 | [Comment From bijay] thanks.... |

| 12:36 | FXstreet.com: 8 minutes to go |

| 12:38 | Tim Salem: Guest... It really depends on where Price Action has been previously... Use your Atr Tools on your Platforms to get a Gauge on the Average True Ranges we are currently in... Remember... with Data.... IRREGARDLESS of how massive and turbulent the Data and Number come out to be... in MOST CASES... Price will remain and fall or rise back into that SAME RANGE... in the same way a Football Game has "Boundaries" of the Playing Field.... |
| 12:39 | Valeria Bednarik: John, yes is what we are talking about. pair is bullish. Take your time, don't act at first spikes... gave market a couple of minutes to settle down. |
| 12:39 | Valeria Bednarik: watch fro break above 1.6420 from here to attempt any bull there at least. |
| 12:39 | [Comment From EuroBull] The euro is the first option out of the dollar. Of course, this is long term. |
| 12:39 | [Comment From Alex] the key will be Trichet's speech... |
| 12:40 | Valeria Bednarik: Yes Alex, is likely thus some reaction to rate could be seen. |
| 12:40 | [Comment From oliver] thanks |
| 12:40 | [Comment From nagalla] recently usdix breaks bellow 200 dma, can we expect bullich trend in majors as long as usdix holds that moving average? |
| 12:41 | Tim Salem: Yes.... Remember... He is not called, "Tricky Trichet" for nothing.... and all of my humor aside there... Trichet is the most Astute Central Banker out there right now..... |
| 12:41 | [Comment From zaphy] the cable is appreciating nicely...can the ECB decision effect it seriously? |
| 12:42 | Valeria Bednarik: Zaphy, yes could bring some "noise" to Gbp. But trend is there, and set to continue. So supportive trend movements are likely to be stronger thancounter ones today |
| 12:43 | [Comment From EuroBull] Alex, where are you from? |
| 12:43 | [Comment From EuroBull] want to keep in touch over msn/skype? |
| 12:43 | [Comment From vt] pound is pretty stable after the announcement |
| 12:43 | Tim Salem: Nagalla!... A fine Question!... The Index is the most CONSISTENT Leading Indicator of Dollar Strength and Activity.... and as long as we Consolidate arounf the 200 there... then conversely... most Majors will continue to as well.... We need to see Outliers on either/or..... on The Index or on The Majors... to see expected and.or Pending Breaks to new Levels.... |
| 12:43 | [Comment From Tarun] hello tim and valeria...!! will euro and gbp bounce back today to 1.4400 and 1.660 respectively against USD ? |
| 12:44 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Tarun, welcome back! |
| 12:44 | [Comment From vt] will the ECB decision affect the pound by alot? |
| 12:44 | Tim Salem: Tarun... I would consider those Levels to be Outliers...and unlikely for today... Remember... You are up against Non-Farm Payrolls tomorrow... so Macro-Muted Price Action will continue to Rule The Day...... |
| 12:45 | [Comment From Dr. Rob] Hi. For a position trader where do you see the real value for cable? Around 1.68, 1.79, or maybe higher around 2.0 as in before the crisis? |
| 12:45 | Valeria Bednarik: VT, as long as ECB decidsion trigger Euro up, will also pe pound supportive, and could affect it enough. 1 minute to go!
|
| 12:46 | FXstreet.com: The ECB leaves the bench mark rate unchanged at 1.00%. |
| 12:46 | Valeria Bednarik: NO CHANGE... |
| 12:46 | Tim Salem: Dr. Rob... In my personal View... 1.7240's in Cable is a Key Level of Resistance to be Mindful of as you look out on your Position Work.... |
| 12:46 | Valeria Bednarik: Not much of a reaction yet, as market will be waiting for Trichet. |
| 12:47 | [Comment From EuroBull] euro has rebounded... |
| 12:47 | [Comment From Alex] Eurobull, i'm from Malaysia. You? |
| 12:47 | [Comment From Tarun] and do you guys expecting any trend reversal from next week ? thanks a lot valeria n tim !!! |
| 12:48 | Valeria Bednarik: Tarun, i do expect some corrections, or retracements, not trend reversals at sight yet. and could start now, with euro under 1.4100 |
| 12:48 | [Comment From Guest] will euro appreciate or depreciate by this? |
| 12:48 | [Comment From micky] will euro fall by this |
| 12:48 | Valeria Bednarik: Still, we are not under support, and no confirmations here.. just choppy jumps till speech |
| 12:49 | [Comment From Hemport] Tim, new on here but watching forex prior to entering trading. Question....i have seen some comments we will see the pound rise to $1.74/5 what do you guys think? |
| 12:49 | [Comment From Nick] hello |
| 12:49 | [Comment From Anthony] It seems that almost everyone is universally a dollar bear... probably the most extreme I have ever seen... when the reversal occurs, it may be brutal. |
| 12:49 | FXstreet.com: The ECB leaves the bench mark rate unchanged at 1.00%. |
| 12:50 | Tim Salem: Tarun...It will rest largely on getting through NFP for any unusual Surprises.... but Institutional Re-Postitioning and Covering Long Positions will likely bring some Pressure on the Majors...as we have been seeing Overall with Dollar and Yen Strength. Remember... The Big Boys play The Major Factor here... and when they leave for the Weekend to fuel up the Yachts.... You will see Units Fall or Rise as those Funds are taken off of the Table..... |
| 12:50 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Anthony, is not as hard as you believe, and still majors have room to go, but yes, as brutal the rise, as brutal the later reversal when it happens.. |
| 12:50 | Valeria Bednarik: at least for me! |
| 12:50 | [Comment From Dimitris] hello tim and valeria, do you bellieve Trichet will trigger eur/usd to a new high ? |
| 12:50 | [Comment From EuroBull] Alex, I am from Germany |
| 12:50 | [Comment From Ray] Thanks Val and Tim for your insights, you make a good team. |
| 12:51 | Valeria Bednarik: tks Ray! we try! |
| 12:51 | [Comment From vt] Anthony, i'm actually looking for the dollar to rise soon...its been a long way down.. |
| 12:51 | [Comment From micky] so will euro fall down by this |
| 12:51 | FXstreet.com: Trichet speech is scheduled at 12:30 GMT. Here you can watch it at http://www.ecb.int/home/html/index.en.html |
| 12:52 | Tim Salem: Dmitiris...as we have discussed earlier... Trichet needs to deal with Quanitative Easing Rhetoric... and if it is Solid... this will be Bearish for the Euro in the Immediate-Term..... It will depend on his Commentary on how the ECB is shaping Policy moving forward..... |
| 12:52 | FXstreet.com: The Advisor Blog by Valeria Bednarik |
| 12:52 | FXstreet.com: Forex Trading Today by Tim Salem (CVJ) |
| 12:52 | Valeria Bednarik: Micky, euro is closer to a strong support than to any key upside resistance. That's not telling us it will fall, but if breaks under, i believe the pair will gain some downside momentum, yes |
| 12:52 | [Comment From mohd] do you think that EURUSD bearish is is just a bay opportunity for short terms |
| 12:53 | [Comment From vt] Tim or Valeria what do you think about the longer term out look for the dollar? |
| 12:53 | [Comment From Raj] Hello |
| 12:54 | [Ad] | Trade with VT Trader™ Web from your web browser. View |
| 12:55 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi mohd, rather wait for confirmations,if 1.4100 holds, yes.. bullsih trend will remain intact. |

| 12:56 | [Comment From stfx] hi , where u see major equity markets both US and europen after the unchange rate decisions, thanks. |
| 12:56 | Tim Salem: VT... Out on the Macro-Mid-Term... My personal View is we will see Dollar Weakness moving forward...for several Factors which are too deep to get into here..... But for the sake of Clarity... This past year of Dollar and Yen Strength has been purely Fear-Based Correction...and not based on sound healthy Fundamentals out of the U.S..... Our Global Crisi has eclipsed all "normal" Economic Criteria..so we look for Safety... or Fly to opportunity. Gold is the Epitomy of this..... |
| 12:57 | [Comment From Raj] euro may come down upto 1.4070 |
| 12:57 | Valeria Bednarik: there it is raj! some downside acceleration ! |
| 12:58 | Valeria Bednarik: GBP fell 200 pips in 15 minutes! |
| 12:59 | Tim Salem: stfx.. ...Global Equity Futures are lagely "Flat"...and will remain this way through tomorrow until NFP provides a Catalyst in either Direction. Watch as The Exchanges and Indices work and flow around the World... largely Muted Price Action will be present until tomorrow... in the general sense..... |
| 12:59 | Valeria Bednarik: Ok, acceleration favoring greenback across the board, mayors break supp/ressitance levels, and accelerate |
| 1:00 | [Comment From Tarun] valeria, can you please let me know the support and resistance levels for eur and gbp against usd for this week |
| 1:01 | Tim Salem: Now... Euro snaps to the 200SMA with Delayed reaction to the Unchanged Decision... Why is that?", you may ask....... |
| 1:01 | [Ad] | CMS - Integrated Pattern Recognition Tecnology View |
| 1:01 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi tarum yes! 1.6110 from here first, followed by strong 1.6000 under that.1.5830 38.2% of daily rally seems a nice target |
| 1:01 | FXstreet.com: International Traders Conference 2009 – October 14-16 - Barcelona (Spain) |
| 1:02 | Valeria Bednarik: 1.6240, 1.6290 and 1.6400 to the upside. |
| 1:02 | [Comment From Lef] Hello. Since PPP for Eur/Usd is about 1.12, why the pair is for so long 3000 pips overvalued? |
| 1:02 | Tim Salem: Tis is a perfect Example of the Institutional Re-Positioning I spoke of earlier and speak of on The Blog all the time... Just like You and Me.... Institutions want the "Wal-Mart" Price for more attractive levels of Buying Power... |
| 1:03 | [Comment From Dimitris] in your opinion, which is the key level for the reversal on eur/usd |
| 1:03 | Valeria Bednarik: Dimitris, under 1.4000 |
| 1:03 | [Comment From hello from yasir] will u pls tell me what u think about german dax? |
| 1:03 | [Comment From stfx] and for Dollar Index and Equity markets form unchanged decision |
| 1:04 | FXstreet.com: The Advisor Blog by Valeria Bednarik |
| 1:04 | FXstreet.com: Forex Trading Today by Tim Salem (CVJ) |
| 1:04 | Tim Salem: Lef... this is largely due to the macro-Dollar weakness throughout the year and is NOT Fear-Based Buying of the Euro.... but Far-Based SELLING of The Dollar!... PPP will not adjust for Macro-Sentiment... The Human Factor, if you will..... |
| 1:04 | FXstreet.com: Trichet speech is scheduled at 12:30 GMT. Here you can watch it at http://www.ecb.int/home/html/index.en.html |
| 1:05 | Valeria Bednarik: Stocks remain quite positive, and tending higher. no much reaction there with this decision, I still see them bullish. |
| 1:05 | [Comment From mohd] Tim Salem and Valeria Bednarik thanks for this coverage ::::::::: forgive me because I am not so good in English |
| 1:05 | Valeria Bednarik: no problem mohd! english is not my language too.. |
| 1:05 | [Comment From Nick] a few months ago we saw a spike in eur dollar might happen again |
| 1:05 | [Comment From Ray] EURO HAS BROKEN 1.41 SUPPORT |
| 1:06 | Valeria Bednarik: Seems not Nick! sorry Ray, we have some delay here. |
| 1:06 | [Comment From min] why the drop in gbp? |
| 1:06 | [Comment From john] wow... GBP/USD has fallen by so much.. what's happening?? |
| 1:06 | Tim Salem: Indeed...and remember the 1.4060's Dynamic Support we spoke of an Hour ago???... There we are..... |
| 1:07 | [Comment From mike] eur couldn't hold 1.4100 and trichet has not say a word yet,Ithink eurusd @ 1.3750 soon |
| 1:07 | [Comment From su25] how is gbp/jpy going to be affected? for that matter, all yen croses? |
| 1:07 | [Comment From petrick] may i ask what is your view on the usd/chf?? what is the next resistance?? |
| 1:08 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Petrick! above recent high, 1.0810 zone |
| 1:08 | [Comment From neo] eurusd long or short now? |
| 1:08 | [Comment From Nick] we are at the end of the channel eur usd |
| 1:09 | Tim Salem: Hi su!... Yes... watch for the Yen Crosses to absorb some of the "Bleedout" from the Majors-Cousins... as the weak Euro and OPOund we are seeing will be picked up by their repsetive Cross.... so expect a bit more Consolidation and "smaller" Movements on the Crosses... |
| 1:09 | Valeria Bednarik: Neo, no time to place your bets, till all this noice is over.. wait just 30 minutes... and let market settle down...then take a decsion |

| 1:10 | [Comment From alex] valeria whats wrong with opening a simaltaneous buy and sell position on the same currency pair? I find it works very well with my demo account. Ive been making a very stress free profit these months |
| 1:11 | Tim Salem: Su... Welll you know me... too short a Time-Cyle for such a Pattern..but neverthe less... It IS functioning as a H&s... BUT... the CRUCial aspect there is it need to snap the Hourly 200SMA/ Support Confluence at 1.4060... otherwise... just Negate the Formation all together....... |
| 1:11 | [Comment From Nick] i just bought eur usd we are at the end of the channel so and i have small stops so |
| 1:11 | [Comment From Dr. Rob] The bearish USD is doing wonders for US exports, a vital part of recovery and covering trade gaps. Personal opinion good news out of Europe combined with US willingness for a weaker dollar will challenge all technicals for a while since this is not a time for "normal" market conditions |
| 1:12 | [Comment From Jon] gbp move on rumour Gordon Brown resigns |
| 1:12 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Alex! hedging is not today's subject, but the NFA idea, i guess points to avoid freeze capital losses in managed accounts.. we can talk about it outside here if you please |
| 1:12 | Valeria Bednarik: Tks Jon for that! |
| 1:13 | Valeria Bednarik: Ok Nick! as long as you use stops, you will be ok! |
| 1:13 | [Comment From Guest] Why is the spread on the EUR/USD so big right now?? |
| 1:14 | Valeria Bednarik: That's depend on your broker guess... not all offer the same conditions. but is due to high volatilitly and lot of people tending to trade it.. |
| 1:14 | [Ad] | Trade with VT Trader™ Web from your web browser. View |
| 1:14 | [Comment From Alex] drop is GBP due to unconfirmed reports that UK PM Brown has resigned!! |
| 1:14 | Valeria Bednarik: TKS ALEX!!!! |
| 1:14 | Tim Salem: Dr, Rob... A deeply Astute Observation...as you are 100% Correct. Classic and textbook Technicals will always vary and have some difficulties in these types of Climates... bcause our current Climate is not Technically-Based... or really even Fundamnetally-Driven..... but Driven on Fear and Hope. So we continually rotate from Risk Appetite to Risk Aversion..... although I will say Techs on the Lonfger-Term Views are always more Valid in this Climate than say... on a 15M Time-Cycle..... |
| 1:14 | [Comment From min] GBP is dropping fast. News wires say UK PM Gordon brown has resigned. |
| 1:16 | Valeria Bednarik: ok dow jones is saying that the resign is a "complete nonsense" so no resing from Mr Brown |
| 1:16 | Valeria Bednarik: seem to have been a rumour. |
| 1:16 | [Comment From alex] hi |
| 1:16 | Tim Salem: Min... and also saying the resignation is "Complete Nonsense".... but of course..for our Purposes as Traders... Information is Information... as it is the EXPECTATIONS that matter.... |
| 1:17 | [Comment From Guest] Euro range 1.36 to 1.40 |
| 1:17 | [Comment From Nick] yes nice money |
| 1:17 | [Comment From Jay Patel] GBP/USD shot up to 1.6225 after that massive fall - Does anyone know why the fall and fast rise |
| 1:17 | [Comment From john] hi valeria.. thank you for your advice... patience is the key... |
| 1:18 | Valeria Bednarik: Tks John |

| 1:18 | FXstreet.com: Forex Trading Today by Tim Salem (CVJ) |
| 1:18 | Valeria Bednarik: I believe i answer that a bit above. Sorry all but we have some delay receiving questions... |
| 1:19 | Tim Salem: Jay... Due to the "Rumors" of Gordon Brown's Resignation..... |
| 1:19 | [Comment From su25] UK Govt says Brown resignation rumour is "complete nonsense"!! |
| 1:19 | [Comment From Adam] (Sorry about the duplicate message about the EUR/USD spread - there is a huge delay for me so I thought the first one didn't go through...) |
| 1:20 | Valeria Bednarik: no problem Adam! we have that delay here too.. |
| 1:20 | [Comment From wiper] So, the gbp will move up again? |
| 1:20 | Tim Salem: Adam... You variable Spreads are due to "Expectant" Volatility..... This will largely depend on who you Broker with..... |
| 1:21 | Valeria Bednarik: Now we are about 10 minutes till trichet speech... so is a wait and see till is over... it usually make market jump 20 pips either direction after each sentence |
| 1:21 | [Comment From Ashish Patel] What level do you feel for Euro USD. After such repid fall, do you still believe bull thrend is intact? or it will move in 1.36 to 1.40 ? |
| 1:22 | Tim Salem: Now...The Pound is involved in what is largely a "Bull Trap"...or "Short Squeeze"... as Price tries to work Its way through that solid 1.6140's Support..... |
| 1:22 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Ashish! if breaks under low, I expect a quick 1.4000 for euro, still be cautious nothing is said and done yet. |
| 1:22 | Tim Salem: See the Wicks on both Sides?.... Euro and Dollar Battle it out there for Supremacy.... |
| 1:23 | [Comment From Nick] eur looks very bearish atm |
| 1:23 | Tim Salem: Sorry!...I mean Pound and Dollar... |
| 1:23 | [Comment From festus jeff] how can u say about the market rigth now |
| 1:24 | [Comment From Orville] lol its this market is a warzone.....(i'm new ^_^) |
| 1:24 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Festus right now, they will hold for Trichet's words. |
| 1:25 | [Comment From Guest] is there a possibility of further decline? |
| 1:25 | Tim Salem: Orville...Yes...in a way you are correct...We have a lot of Sentiment to deal with here.... |
| 1:25 | Valeria Bednarik: we have some reports both for USD and CAD in the next couple of minutes.... |
| 1:26 | [Comment From Ashish Patel] Thanks Valeria..in fact i sold Euro at 1.39. Will advise to hedge this position ? |
| 1:26 | FXstreet.com: The speech starts in 3 minutes. |
| 1:27 | Tim Salem: Yes... and To All.. check your Euro and Cable Prices... See how both are resting on clear and solid Dynamic Support?......THAT is what I mean by Institutional Re-Positioning....... Price Behavior like this just does not happen by Accident.... |
| 1:27 | Valeria Bednarik: hi Ashish, at least wait for the speech results, to be honest i'm not a big fan of hedging.. but at least protect your capital |
| 1:27 | [Comment From DS] Is aud/usd going further down ? |
| 1:27 | [Comment From Nick] better to wait a few more min :p |
| 1:28 | [Comment From f] hello. what do you make of move in eur.chf. will twill downtrend continue or will the snb step in? |
| 1:30 | Tim Salem: DS... In the case of The Aussie...look for the continual Retracement to the .7730's in the Mid-Term...We may not get that far... but Dollar Strength on the Correction appears not quite comlete as of yet.... |
| 1:30 | Valeria Bednarik: Eur/Chf seems to be in a consolidation stage. I dont see it bearish to be honest. yet abreak under 1.5000 could well trigger it down. At actual levels, more chances to the upside for me! |
| 1:30 | [Comment From NickB] DJIA Futures still holding so dont see any reason EU shouldnt bounce back here |
| 1:31 | FXstreet.com: US Jobless Claims -4K To 621K |
| 1:31 | Valeria Bednarik: Good point there nickB |
| 1:31 | Tim Salem: Now...Jobless Claims in the Mix...so watch your Levels we have been discussing for any Activity..... Slightly Positive... which may put additional Weight into Dollar Strength in the Immediate-Term..... |
| 1:32 | Valeria Bednarik: and there you have a reason...let's see how stocks react to unemployment levels. |
| 1:32 | [Comment From Nick] better be ready |
| 1:32 | [Comment From trickster] the trend is down short term at least i hope ;) |
| 1:32 | [Comment From festus jeff] do u believe euro&usd will go bullish later bcos i am already in the market on buy |
| 1:33 | Valeria Bednarik: Seems so festus! stocks are up a bit, and so risk appetite. Pair did not confirm break under level, and longer term trend remains bullsih |
| 1:33 | [Comment From Sun] I am short euro since 1.36 .. maybe will catch a move here... |
| 1:33 | [Comment From Faraz Javed] how far will gbp decline further? |
| 1:34 | [Comment From Faraz Javed] Valeria, what do you say of CHF? it has tested 755 level thrice!! |
| 1:36 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Faraz.. Pair remains bearish, if you look up, you will see I rather wait for a breal above 1.0800 to go bullish, or a fresh low at 1.0500 zone, as pair seems way overextend to the downside |
| 1:36 | FXstreet.com: Trichet says Economy to gradually recover in 2010 |
| 1:37 | Valeria Bednarik: And labor conditions continue to weaken in next months... and inflation anchored.. |
| 1:37 | [Comment From Redstar] anyone expects a correlating drop in equity markets coming in the next few days? |
| 1:37 | Valeria Bednarik: Hi Redstar to be honest, not yet. |
| 1:37 | [Comment From f] thank you Valeria, i also feel that unless we see 1.5075/85, it is still in consolidation.... |
| 1:38 | [Comment From Guest] A huge fall is on the way from late today or early tomorrow in EURO and GBP. Plan your trades wisely, carefully and accordingly. |
| 1:38 | [Comment From zaphy] aren't we forgetting about the man himself :)??? |
| 1:39 | FXstreet.com: Sorry guys. We have just 10 minutes left. Dont miss a chance to ask Valerica and Tim! |

| 1:40 | Valeria Bednarik: Trichet comments are for me a bit eur positive for what i see, as he say's economy is stabilazing and slowdown easing |
| 1:40 | [Comment From vinesh] test |
| 1:41 | Tim Salem: Yes..that is the Key from Val right there..... Is his Commentary on the Scope of Quantitative Easing..... |
| 1:42 | [Comment From NOVICETRADER] HI , DO U SEE US $ AT BELOW 130 THIS YEAR?? |
| 1:42 | Valeria Bednarik: not below, but close for next Q. check up, Tim already answered that question |
| 1:42 | [Comment From titus] Hi, do you think strenght in USD against commodities currencies is a trend reversal or just a pullback? |
| 1:43 | [Comment From Vinesh] trichet was saying same thing las time the economy was improving and eur still fell |
| 1:44 | Valeria Bednarik: Vinesh, but regain the 1.4100...trend is strong still.. |
| 1:44 | Tim Salem: Titus... it is largely a Technical Correction within The Pacific Dollars of the Aussie and Kiwi...and Yhe Loonie for that matter... as The Metals Complex, China, and Crude Oil are providing solid Support for the Aussie, NZ, and Canadian Dollars.... |
| 1:45 | [Comment From Redstar] EUR support at 1.409 and GBP at 1.614? |
| 1:45 | Valeria Bednarik: Redstar, take a llok up Tim mentioned quite nice levels earlier |
| 1:46 | [Comment From zhonghua] anyone trading gold here? or is there some webpage like fxstreet for gold trade? thanks |
| 1:46 | [Comment From Guest] so vealerica, dose his speech favours bullish trend |
| 1:46 | [Comment From Orville] Valeria, Tim....thanks for your time and advive ^_^ |
| 1:47 | Tim Salem: Redstar.....It may be up there a bit as you Scroll.... 1.4060 on The Euro...and 1.6140 on Cable.... |
| 1:47 | Valeria Bednarik: Guest yes, seems still strong.. let's give it some minutes till trichet is over. |
| 1:47 | [Comment From titus] thanks for your answer Tim! |
| 1:47 | [Comment From Vinesh] if we get a daily close below that EU is toast imo |
| 1:47 | [Comment From Vinesh] its bearly staying above 1.41 |
| 1:48 | Valeria Bednarik: yes Vinesh what we have talking about earlier, better if under 1.4060 zone |
| 1:48 | [Comment From Redstar] Thank you! |
| 1:48 | [Comment From mike] di trichet say something about QE???????????????? |
| 1:48 | FXstreet.com: Sorry Guys, Time is up. I have to wrap up the coverage. |
| 1:49 | Tim Salem: Yes.. and for both of these Solid Supports on Euro and Cable... The Longer they rest... Remember... they are building and storing Energy here... so a Delayed Violation or Rejection at these levels is on the Way... They are fueling the Cars to take a Run at The Walls... to use another Analogy..... |
| 1:49 | Valeria Bednarik: Ok! so sorry we cannot continue! as always,a pleasure to share with Tim, and you all here! |
| 1:50 | Tim Salem: Indeed!... We certainly appreciate Everyone's Participation... as All of You are what makes these Sessions Informative and Exciting for All of Us!  |
| 1:51 | FXstreet.com: Thank you Valeria and Tim for the coverage, It has been great. |
| 1:51 | Valeria Bednarik: As usuall, my final worlds will be to consider the technical points we have been talking about. While Euro seems to be holding the downside pretty well, Gbp 200 pips lost seems more drastic. But at the end, both pairs remain bullish in the term. |
| 1:51 | FXstreet.com: Any every who has joined today... Thank you! |
| 1:52 | Valeria Bednarik: No signs of technical corrections have already been triggered. but as Vinesh said, today's close could well be helpul, Dont forget tomorrow's payroll in the U.S. great definition for the end of the week. |
| 1:52 | FXstreet.com: Thank you again, valeria, Tima and every one. I have had a really good time with you. |
| 1:52 | Tim Salem: In agreement with Val... Watch for Cable to pick up some Buying Builds as we move forward.... Just as The Big Boys left The Party..... They will be returning for more Participation to resume these Trends in the Near-Term...... |
| 1:53 | Valeria Bednarik: tks to you all!!! and Tks Fxstreet for giving us this space! |
| 1:53 | Valeria Bednarik: See you soon bye! |
| 1:53 | Tim Salem: We look forward to spending time with all of You again soon, and have a Fine Day in your own Work!..... Take Care! |

GDP Live Coverage
Good result and bullish for the USD
Hey will there be a spike up or down?
I think the -1.5% forecast is optimistic given that Q1 was -5.5%. My forecast is around -3.5%
think people are really expecting -1.5? or has the recent run lifted unofficial expectations
hi nick what u think about eur/usd after US GDP release ?
ya !! the market has already anticipated good GDP so there might be a profit booking in the stocks
Does it make a bearish movement in eurusd
nick, how much do you expect the eur/usd will drop before consolidation occurs?
I would like to see a close above 1.6580 for bullish continuation of GBP/USD, to 1.70 area
personal consumption 1.2 percent gross private investment dropped 20.4 percent
GBP/USD will fall to retest 1.5980 has had a bullish run but has got ahead of itself, housing market up on thin volume, unemployment however continues to rise further
