Forex Trading Volatility was promised. And volatility is what we have
The volatility and choppy trading action has gotten traders shaking their heads in a bit of disbelief. We saw the GBPUSD surge up from 1.6004 to 1.6228, then back down to 1.6067 and back up to 1.6215.
Hey if you are good enough (perhaps lucky too), to catch the up and down swings, all the power to you. For many, however, the month end market flows are swinging the currency pairs around with little in the way of rhyme or reason. Sit tight.
Forex Trading Markets are getting volatile as the London/EUROPE session end approaches
As discussed earlier, the markets are volatile and choppy as the Europe and UK end of week/month end approaches.

The GBPUSD broke through the 1.6065 support level (100 hour moving average), retraced to test the level, sold off to new lows at 1.6004 then rocketed higher. Expect more of the same volatility as we move closer to the week end.

Forex Trading; Stops in GBPUSD hit at the 1.6056 level
Watch the retracement to see if intraday sellers put a ceiling at the key level.
Forex Trading GBPUSD testing support.

A break of the 100 hour moving average at the 1.6056 should solicit further selling.
Forex Trading EURUSD randomly moving up and down as the market digests the news

The EURUSD is moving randomly with a bias to the downside as the market digests the weaker German Retail sales last night, and prospects of a rate cut next week by the ECB. On the US side, however, the weak Chicago PMI, the election, and a weak Non Farm Payroll on tap for next Friday are pulling for a weaker dollar.
From a technical perspective, the 100 and 200 hour moving averages are converging signalling the same short term uncertainty (1.2750 and 1.2788 respectively). Add to the Halloween brew month end flows which should add a touch of up and down volatility and you have the making of a choppy trading session as we head into the weekend.
I would expect that the upsides should find resistance against 1.2769 and above that, further intraday resistance at 1.2800. On the downside a break of the 1.2700 should lead to further pressure with the low for the day at 1.2667 the obvious target.
