When small traders are very optimistic about possible growth, they bring a lot of fragile positions to the marketplace. Not surprisingly, market can liquidate (go down) very quickly if something happens. And market has liquidated after news release on Eur/cad – rapid movement to the downside was result of massive liquidation.
Forex Trading is "speculative business" And those who know that try to accept every little opportunity that comes their way, No matter whether it is short term or long term. But those who totally speculate on the basis of "Big release", that really has long term impact on the price of a particular pair, them one might called it gambling.
I have different point of view of accessing chart, One is Overall trend, release and logic behind the movement, And I always back up my decisions and never try to rush before the release because Its not us who drives the price, Its strong money who have huge lots which come and hit the market one after one and final decision is always reserve by those movers.
We did saw large movement in the price of Euro crosses and the one that I picked up today is eur/cad, And market set the tone for that reversal as you have seen in the above mentioned chart that market creates a scenario that "Liquidation", was about to arrive at any time after strong reversal and bullish momentum was not gathering any force and finally after we see final pattern breakout, Market was ready to go berserk.
