Different movement on NFPS and CPI?

[Georg1]

Hello,

I have a general question about the volatility at NFPS and CPI. Most of NFPS and CPIS the market goes straight into one direction after the announcement and stays there. Sometimes it peaks for 3 seconds into one direction and goes straight after in the other direction. I know the market is rational and there are no rules. But does some of you may know if there is a connection or if it depends of something whether the market is going in one direction or peaks for 3 seconds? The pictures were both NFPS in the same market. 

Thanks

I wouldn't try to glean much from a 3 second stall in price movement... Not without access to the broker-dealer's order book anyway.

You seem to have discovered a market anomaly. If the anomaly repeats itself over time, maybe set up an OCO order (one cancels the other) around the stalled price level. You'd have to be pretty quick on the draw though.

Thank you. U know how to do an OCO on IG?
