hard to know when it culminates like this, sometimes spikes in the direction you want, then quickly reverses, sometimes actually does what you think

 

[MichaelJohnFX]

Either way Dax is a long. It's just how this thing is going to fall/has fallen/timing arghh

 

[Jessi_trader]

The Federal Open Market Committee was in focus for UK investors after the US central bank announced its policy decision after the close on Wednesday.

Policymakers issued a cautiously optimistic outlook on the economy in their statement, saying that the current economic slowdown is only temporary. Data on Wednesday showed that annualised US gross domestic product growth slowed to just 0.2% in the first quarter from 2.2% previously.

Analysts at Danske Bank reckon that the Fed is still on track to hike rates by 25 basis points in September.

However, Barclays said that the statement still left the door open for a rate hike as soon as June: "In our view, the lack of any specific calendar time suggests June will be a 'live' meeting, where rate hike deliberations will begin in more earnest."

Dax had a sharp down move earlier. Now I think got support may be. Next strong resistance near 11670-80 area. Very dangerous instrument to play with.
