Options Summary | June 2, 2026
Overview
The options market is increasingly focused on two major themes:
EUR/USD gravitating toward 1.1700
USD/JPY testing the 160 level
Large option concentrations are creating strong magnetic effects ahead of the NY cut.
The most important strikes are:
- EUR/USD: 1.1700 (2.7B)
- USD/JPY: 160.00 (1.7B)
These two levels are likely to dominate price action during the first half of the week.
EUR/USD
Spot: 1.1637
Tuesday (June 2)
Key strikes:
- 1.1700 (1.9B)
- 1.1715 (1.5B)
- 1.1720 (2.2B)
- 1.1750 (1.8B)
The largest concentration is clearly above the current market.
Market positioning is centered around:
1.1700–1.1720
Although spot remains below those levels, the options structure suggests that:
- 1.1625–1.1650 serves as the near-term support zone
- 1.1700–1.1720 acts as the primary magnet zone
If dollar selling emerges, EUR/USD could be pulled toward 1.1700 relatively quickly.

1.1700 (2.7B)
By far the largest option position.
Additional strikes include:
- 1.1725

Any dollar weakness could accelerate a move toward that level.

Summary
The dominant themes for the first half of the week are:
EUR/USD gravitating toward 1.1700
USD/JPY battling around 160
The two standout strikes are:
- EUR/USD 1.1700 (2.7B)
- USD/JPY 160.00 (1.7B)
These levels are likely to influence price action into the NY option cut.
For USD/JPY, reaching 160 remains the primary story.
However, once that level is reached, traders should be alert for:
- profit-taking
- position squaring
- short-term pullbacks
rather than assuming an immediate breakout continuation.
