It's all in the futures. Funny, longs = shorts there, and volume is huge. So, who determine the price, other than dealers then? I think when futures in anything become the dominant volume market, they automatically become manipulation tool, because the number of longs and shorts is always equal, and it's the dealers who set the prices.

We'll see - if bonds and dollar continue to deteriorate, I expect there will be some serious fun for the bears. There won't be many to jump on the band wagon, though. In fact, if the buck falls just one or 2 points from here, it will fall a lot quicker and further than anyone anticipates. That said, I'd rather be long the buck now -g-
