  • GBP/USD: 1.3431

  • USD/CHF: 0.7959

  • USD/CAD: 1.3861

Tuesday, January 20

EUR/USD

  • 1.1540 (EUR 0.546bn)

  • 1.1555 (EUR 0.510bn)

  • 1.1600 (EUR 0.824bn)

  • 1.1650 (EUR 1.1bn)

  • 1.1715 (EUR 1.2bn)

  • 1.1725 (EUR 0.730bn)

  • 1.1750 (EUR 0.937bn)

→ Two major gravity centers: 1.1715 (EUR 1.2bn) and 1.1650 (EUR 1.1bn).
With spot at 1.1664, price is positioned exactly between them.
Before the NY cut, the 1.1650–1.1720 zone has very strong magnetic pull.

USD/JPY

  • 155.00 (USD 1.8bn)

  • 158.00 (USD 0.569bn)

  • 159.00 (USD 0.758bn)

  • 160.00 (USD 1.0bn)

→ The largest is 155.00, followed by 160.00.
With spot at 158.43, this is a mid-zone:
158–159 acts as a temporary passing area, and price is structurally prone to be drawn eventually toward 155 or 160.

USD/CHF

  • 0.7835 (USD 0.506bn)

→ A single but relatively large option.
Acts as a downside magnet level.

AUD/USD

  • 0.6610 (AUD 0.774bn)

  • 0.6650 (AUD 0.677bn)

  • 0.6700 (AUD 1.0bn)

  • 0.6800 (AUD 1.0bn)

→ 0.6700 and 0.6800 form a twin-pole structure of maximum size.
With spot at 0.6729, just above 0.6700,
the strongest attraction before the NY cut is clearly toward 0.6700.

EUR/GBP

  • 0.8600 (EUR 0.653bn)

→ From the current 0.8681 level, this is somewhat lower,
but if direction is lost, 0.8600 acts as a downside magnet.

Wednesday, January 21 (Next Day Structure)

EUR/USD

  • 1.1550 (EUR 0.726bn)

  • 1.1600 (EUR 0.567bn)

  • 1.1675 (EUR 0.532bn)

  • 1.1690 (EUR 0.896bn)

  • 1.1695 (EUR 0.817bn)

→ 1.1690–1.1695 zone is the next major gravity center.
If price holds higher after Tuesday’s NY cut, this becomes the next magnet.

USD/JPY

  • 157.00 (USD 1.2bn)

  • 158.00 (USD 1.3bn)

  • 158.50 (USD 1.5bn)

  • 159.50 (USD 0.561bn)

  • 160.00 (USD 0.518bn)

→ 158.50 is the largest (USD 1.5bn) and extremely powerful.
After Tuesday’s NY cut,
158.0–158.5 becomes a perfect pinning zone.

USD/CHF

  • 0.7925 (USD 0.957bn)

→ From current levels around 0.7959,
there is strong downward magnetic pull.

Overall Structure Summary

EUR/USD

  • Tuesday:
    → Main magnets at 1.1650 and 1.1715

  • Wednesday:
    → Next gravity zone at 1.1690–1.1695

USD/JPY

  • Tuesday:
    → Bipolar structure: 155 vs 160

  • Wednesday:
    → Absolute center shifts to 158.5

AUD/USD

  • Tuesday:
    → Strongest magnet: 0.6700
    → Secondary: 0.6800

USD/CHF

  • Continuous downside attraction:
    → 0.7835 → 0.7925 across days

Once again, this is a textbook option setup:

“Before the NY cut = magnetic attraction.
After the cut = release.”

A classic magnet-and-release pattern is highly likely to dominate today’s price behavior.
