📌 Key Takeaways & Market Implications

1️⃣ EUR/USD 1.0400 (52B) & 1.0500 (34B) – Major Resistance Zones

  • These are critical levels where large option expiries could drive volatility.
  • Break above 1.0400 → Potential push toward 1.0500.
  • Failure at 1.0400 → Rejection & retracement toward 1.0300-1.0325.

2️⃣ USD/JPY 152.00 (31B) & 156.00 (20B) – Key Option Levels

  • 152.00: A significant support level; strong bids likely.
  • 156.00: Large resistance with high probability of price rejection if tested.

3️⃣ USD/CAD 1.4200 (18B) – Crucial Level

  • Key barrier in USDCAD that could act as a magnet for price movement.
  • Break above → Bullish toward 1.4250+

4️⃣ AUD/USD 0.6200 (17B) – Strong Support

  • AUD has been weak, but option interest at 0.6200 suggests significant demand.

📌 Current 15-Minute Relative Strength Ranking

🔺 Strongest Currencies: NZD > AUD > GBP = CHF = JPY
🔻 Weakest Currencies: CAD > EUR > USD

⚠️ Market Takeaway:

  • USD is the weakest currency, meaning there is still some room for a pullback.
  • NZD and AUD leading, which aligns with risk-on sentiment in early trading.
  • EUR remains weak despite option interest at higher levels.
