Waiting for the bearded clam

Well elections over, economic data is coming in surprisingly good but none of it really matters until we get the announcement later of how much, how quickly and see what the market makes of it.

I am waiting to buy dollars on any spike lower.

My favoured pairs are USDCHF (I like the monthly hammer - see chart) but it has to break back above the previous trendline support around the 1.00 parity level.  One to watch.
CHF is weak across the board, the double bottom in GBPCHF and the big bounce in EURCHF make it the best looking for now.
USDJPY is starting to show signs of a reversal but much will depend on what happens in bonds and we will have to wait for the QE2 announcement for that.

Until FOMC I am scalping crude.
