Opposite. Shorts were laying in wait "letting" longs move price higher. Till the news.
It is often what is not done ... that matters.
But look at what transpired during Globex. Price moved higher into first few hours of euro session. Then stalled. Not exactly what I would call "pumped up".
That makes sense too.
Agreed, which is why I said "trying". I think there were spikes but they just didnt capture enough peoples attention.
