I realize you're posting to At2 but I agree there is manipulation, but I also submit (as I ranted on this board prior) that the 'all' forex brokers utilize computer programs that hunt for near 'stop loss' placements by retail players, taking them out then returning to the trend or noise at the time.....
I agree, the reason behind it all is ,they just dont get it..they are trying despondently to prop up asset prices.they wont be able to do this by pumping money into a black hole if there aren't enough jobs to create a middle class...!
