Options Summary | June 1, 2026
Overview
The options market at the start of the week suggests:
“The dollar remains firm, while major currency pairs are likely to stay anchored around key option strikes.”
Main focus levels:
- EUR/USD = 1.1660–1.1700
- USD/JPY = 159.27
- AUD/USD = 0.7120–0.7175
- USD/CAD = 1.3790
Most of these strikes are very close to current spot prices.
That creates an environment where short-term moves are more likely to revert toward option centers rather than trend strongly.
EUR/USD
Spot: 1.1640
Friday’s main strikes were:
- 1.1600 (1.5B)
- 1.1650 (1.5B)
That created a strong center around 1.1625–1.1650.
For Monday:
- 1.1660 (900M)
- 1.1700 (1.2B)
- 1.1740 (900M)
The option focus has shifted slightly higher.
Key points:
- 1.1660 is closest
- 1.1700 is heavily positioned
- If momentum builds, 1.1740 becomes the next target
Support remains below around 1.1600–1.1650.
Short-term view:
A return toward 1.1660 with upside tests toward 1.1700 looks most natural.
USD/JPY
Spot: 159.30
This is today’s clearest setup.
Monday strike:
- 159.27 (650M)
Almost identical to spot.
Friday’s nearby strikes remain:
- 159.00
- 160.00
- 161.00
Current structure:
- Strong pull toward 159.27
- 159–160 range remains active
- 160 can still be tested
- But moves may fade quickly
Main theme:
Stable trading in the 159 zone with repeated tests toward 160.
Until major headlines or US ISM data arrive,
price is likely to gravitate back toward 159.27.
GBP/USD
Spot: 1.3433
Monday strike:
- 1.3425 (650M)
Very close.
Likely behavior:
Stabilization around 1.3425.
If dollar selling increases,
1.3480 becomes the next upside reference.
USD/CHF
Spot: 0.7839
Monday strike:
- 0.7825 (600M)
Close enough to attract price.
Base case:
Return toward 0.7825.
If dollar strength accelerates,
0.7900 comes back into focus.
AUD/USD
Spot: 0.7163
Very dense positioning.
Main strikes:
- 0.7120 (1.2B)
- 0.7175 (880M)
Spot sits near the middle.
Most likely scenario:
0.7120–0.7175 range trading continues.
One of today’s strongest range-bound setups.
USD/CAD
Spot: 1.3786
Monday strike:
- 1.3790 (560M)
Almost identical.
Likely behavior:
Strong pull toward 1.3790.
Even if price moves,
reversion remains likely.

Summary
Today’s option structure suggests:
“Dollar strength remains intact, but price action is likely to stay anchored around option-heavy levels.”
Main centers:
- EUR/USD = around 1.1660
- USD/JPY = 159.27
- AUD/USD = around 0.7150
- USD/CAD = 1.3790
For USD/JPY, the core theme remains:
Stable trading in the 159 zone with possible tests toward 160.
But with 159.27 sitting almost exactly at spot,
the first move today may simply be a return toward that level before the market chooses direction.
