Gumnam, the last 2 days is an example resembling the what I mentioned before.

On Sept 16, around 6 AM GMT the EUR/USD was 1.1315 since it dropped to 1.1140 by 6 AM GMT Sept 17, or 1.6% within one hour.

This morning the EUR/USD rose from 1.1140 to the present level of 1.1295.

So we had a 3% move in less than 2 days at a time that option IV is around 10.8%

There were no meaningful news only FX manipulation.

How could a commercial player properly hedge himself whit such low volatility aside from gambling all the time is beyond me.
