Today (10 August)
EUR/USD
・1.1400 (€680m)
・1.1450 (€1.0bn)
・1.1500 (€1.1bn)
● 1.1575 (€1.8bn) Largest
・1.1640 (€530m)
With spot at 1.1550, the 1.1575 expiry is only around 25 pips above. The pair may be drawn toward 1.1575 into the New York cut, with 1.1500–1.1575 likely to act as the main range.
USD/JPY
● 156.00 ($680m) Largest
The expiry is around 2.36 yen below the current level of 158.36, so its direct influence today appears limited. Price action in the 158 range is more likely to be driven by general flows, U.S. yields, and intervention concerns.
USD/CAD
・1.3920 ($510m)
● 1.4050 ($570m) Largest
The 1.3920–1.4050 range is likely to be in focus. With spot at 1.3961, the pair is closer to 1.3920, so a move back toward the lower strike should be watched.
AUD/USD
・0.7025 (A$720m)
● 0.7100 (A$850m) Largest
Spot at 0.7061 is almost exactly between the two strikes. The 0.7025–0.7100 range structure is clear, with 0.7100 the important upside target if AUD/USD rises.
GBP/USD, USD/CHF, NZD/USD, EUR/GBP

・1.1440 (€1.0bn)
● 1.1450 (€1.2bn) Largest
・1.1500 (€670m)
・1.1585 (€770m)
・1.1600 (€970m)
On the upside, 1.1585–1.1600 will be important. On the downside, 1.1500 is the first level to watch, followed by 1.1450.
USD/JPY
● 157.00 ($550m) Largest
This is around 1.36 yen below current spot. If USD/JPY corrects lower, 157.00 may become a short-term target.
Trading Strategy
EUR/USD: Focus on a potential pull toward 1.1575, while treating 1.1500–1.1575 as the main range. A clear break above 1.1575 could shift attention toward 1.1600.
USD/JPY: With today’s 156.00 expiry far below spot, option-led trading has lower priority. Watch 157.00 as a potential target if the pair corrects.
AUD/USD: Prioritize range trading between 0.7025 and 0.7100. Watch for resistance near 0.7100 and a possible range break below 0.7025.
USD/CAD: Keep the 1.3920–1.4050 range in focus, particularly the potential for a move back toward 1.3920.
