But when the real data and consensus data are different then the market direction is changed. Some traders think the economy is bad because the real data is low then consensus data. So, selling pressure may lower the currency value. Other trades think in the short term the data may be below but in the long term economy covers quickly and they react by pressure to the market. For the situation, the market goes both of the direction as a result the market is unstable. News trading is very risky to trade if we do not catch the market pulse.
