Markets Waiting for Yellen & Draghi

FX markets entered a "wait & see phase" with low liquidity this morning as investors are awaiting policy clues from Chair Yellen and President Draghi. USD is up against Japanese Yen but lost some ground to Sterling which is correcting higher. Dollar also lost a bit to AUD and CAD.

How do you join the dollar long happy party in such environment? I would love to buy the pair at 113.20 but for now there is no signs it might travel there. Perhaps today before Yellen's speech event we'll see some retrace on profit taking. In the…
