EUR/USD

1.2000 (~€940M)
1.1900 (~€1.34B) ⭐ Largest
1.1700 (~€980M)

👉 Key level: 1.1900

Structure:
Upper pull toward 1.19, lower support at 1.17.
Classic pin-zone dynamics.

156.00 (~$1.95B) ⭐ Dominant strike
151.00 (~$1.09B)

👉 Today’s main battlefield

156.00 is a massive expiry (~$2B).
If price rallies, this level is likely to attract flows strongly.

Upside gravitation toward 156 in rally phases.

🔎 Overall Structure Summary

✔ EUR/USD: 1.1900 is the dominant magnet

✔ USD/CAD: 1.35–1.36 range-binding zone

This is not a momentum day.
It is a “gravitation and stabilization” type session —
watch where price gets pulled, not where it tries to run.
