It's just absurd that the market still moves based on the knucklehead Feds. They've cut 325 basis points and the Dow is down thousands of points and the dollar is in the garbage. Good time to take a nap if you ask me. Whatever happens to the markets will only be a short term result (1-3 days), after that, the stock and dollar downtrend will resume.

This time it was really different; volatility was rather low, only +/- 40 pips for most pairs.

The Fed keeps rates unchanged and says inflation is a concern. Wow. Breathtaking. As usual, the Fed has underwhelmed me.

The stock market appears strong and ready to rally significantly. Even a usueless Fed announcement should give it reason to do so. The market was severely oversold this week and has completed 5 waves down so it's been due for a bounce. But let's watch the media dig up pieces of data in hindsight from the Fed's statement to give reasoning behind the stock market rally that should last into tomorrow ane perhaps into Friday.

Well guys,
Im following the Gbp/Jpy cause of the stellar ending D that still looks to be intact. Ive raised my entry now to 212.12. If that gets hit while pattern stays in tact, theres a good chance this is for real. Price looks to be breaking down.

I know. Bernanke is a dollar killer. And I thought his mission over the past few months has been to try and strengthen the dollar. Maybe if he gets his nose out of textbooks and gets with reality that you can't completely ignore the dollar for months to save the stock market and then all of a sudden become concerned with the dollar and save that right when you want. Can't have your cake and eat it too, Benny.

Unfortunately for him, both the stock market and the dollar are headed lower.

I love our government. Whenever they get involved in things, everything gets much better.

We did it to ourselves. Its time to pay the piper. God help us all!
Italm;

The voice of reason. I agree. Besides there are plenty of political sites on the net. I would add that we are students of the wave in part, because we want to anticipate the next move and be ready to capitalize.

Good Luck

That is funny. They retreated a lot quicker than I anticipated. I know the Dow actually went into negative territory and closed below where it was before the Fed news was released, which is a very bearish sign. I don't know if the S&P did the same thing or not.

Dollar's still dragging.

Thanks TP. I'll have a cold one on that and a big porterhouse! :-)

It's not over yet but, I'll tell you, if it stops at the wave D downtrend line and starts lower I will be tripling up positions on the wave E low for the new highs.

After that I would think by everyone's count the Euro should go much lower.
