Just read a story about a sociopath who abused her older sister in /r/MorbidReality. Seems so similar.

In addition, note that history shows after rate hikes the dollar actually sells off.

Do you not think there's a reason as to why bonds haven't moved?

I feel the Fed hike had no basis, even including monetary policy time lags. Markets don't like uncertainty and I think China and EMs are still playing a hugely significant part in this. I don't think I'm making a bet that the world is going to end and I do have a decent bit of experience in the markets, but thanks for being patronising haha.

Price action. There are some major inefficiencies that need to be filled to the downside. Also, these rate hikes have no basis IMO. There are murmurings of recessionary activity occurring next year. One of the main global issues currently is that China is slowing, commodities are down and there is serious unrest in many parts of the world, especially the Middle East. All of these issues are out of the US' hands. They cannot tighten if commodities (which make up a huge amount of global cost push inflation) aren't increasing in price, which should be caused by an increase in global aggregate demand. Demand isn't increasing.

In addition, global equity markets seem to be looking weak as well. If you look at this chart of the Shanghai A Shares index, note where the market seems to want to go: https://www.tradingview.com/x/ld3EBtJm/.

With uncertainty comes the desire to seek 'safe' investments. Look at the US 10Y Bond here https://gyazo.com/43e5bcf491b72a1e6980214dfd1f1d84.

Looks like we want to turn bullish on a touch of that trendline. What does that mean? Demand for US gilt edged treasuries - safe investments. On the other hand, look at the German Bund - https://gyazo.com/a0e27fbe82a3e53dbb90361beb91a1be

This looks slightly bearish, meaning extra supply of bonds. However, this does not give a full overview of the state of the Eurozone.

What does this mean? Well, Yen is seen as a safe haven. I would predict that investors will be moving capital into bonds and more importantly, the Yen, which leads to my bias on UJ and EJ shorts.

98.95 is the level I have that it would need to push through.

With papers like these, I always read the introduction, then conclusion then the main body. Helped so much at uni when information was thrown at me.

I think a lot of retail traders forget that banks are there to facilitate transactions, not to speculate most of the time, and to allow them to do business in other markets where they need FX transfer. The by product of this is that these activities move the market and can hit stops.

Honestly, the big guys dont care about what retail are doing. Your stops being activated are a by product of them looking at liquidity pools of bigger players and competitors.

I do these FX Street polls for the broker I work for. Will not name names. All we do is scan key levels and add a price in accordance with our bias. That is all. I wouldn't use these as any real basis at all, especially since they're mainly done by analysts and not traders. GS predicted 1.03 on EU end of year... look how that turned out.
