Tuesday (June 9)

EUR/USD

Key Option Strikes

  • 1.1470 (580M)
  • 1.1505 (550M)
  • 1.1510 (790M)
  • 1.1560 (630M)
  • 1.1570 (1.1B)
  • 1.1575 (820M)
  • 1.1620 (690M)
  • 1.1625 (690M)
  • 1.1650 (1.0B)
  • 1.1700 (720M)

Current Spot: 1.1545

The nearest strikes are:

  • 1.1510
  • 1.1560

The largest nearby option position is:

1.1570 (1.1B)

As a result, the market is likely to be attracted toward:

1.1560–1.1570

in the short term.

With spot still trading below this zone, any easing of recent euro selling pressure could encourage a move back toward the 1.1570 area.


USD/JPY

Key Option Strikes

  • 159.00 (1.1B)
  • 160.00 (610M)
  • 160.25 (680M)
  • 160.50 (540M)

Current Spot: 160.14

The nearest strikes are:

  • 160.00
  • 160.25

The largest position remains:

159.00 (1.1B)

This suggests that even after breaking above 160, there is still some gravitational pull toward the 159 area.

However, with the pair now trading comfortably above 160, the most likely short-term scenario is continued consolidation around:

160.00–160.25

into the New York option cut.


AUD/USD

Key Option Strikes

  • 0.7030 (550M)
  • 0.7050 (1.1B)

Current Spot: 0.7055

Spot is trading almost exactly at the largest strike:

0.7050 (1.1B)

This creates a strong probability of:

0.7050 stabilization

throughout the session.


Wednesday (June 10)

EUR/USD

Key Option Strikes

  • 1.1430 (930M)
  • 1.1560 (740M)
  • 1.1610 (730M)
  • 1.1675 (520M)
  • 1.1680 (790M)
  • 1.1695 (570M)
  • 1.1700 (980M)

Current Spot: 1.1545

The closest strike is:

1.1560

However, the largest concentrations are located at opposite ends of the range:

  • 1.1430 (930M)
  • 1.1700 (980M)

Overall positioning suggests a slightly higher center of gravity.

If dollar selling emerges, traders may increasingly focus on a potential recovery toward:

1.1700

through short-covering activity.

On the other hand, renewed dollar strength could pull the pair toward:

1.1430

which remains a significant downside magnet.


USD/JPY

Key Option Strikes

  • 160.00 (1.4B)
  • 160.50 (840M)

Current Spot: 160.14

The dominant strike is clearly:

160.00 (1.4B)

Given its size and proximity to spot, Wednesday’s trading is likely to revolve around:

160.00

Although 160.50 remains a potential upside target, the stronger force into the New York cut may be a return toward the 160.00 area.


AUD/USD

Key Option Strike

  • 0.7000 (550M)

Current Spot: 0.7055

The only notable option sits below current market levels.

This suggests that traders may continue to view:

0.7000

as an important reference point.

The overall options structure remains relatively bearish for AUD/USD.


EUR/GBP

Key Option Strike

  • 0.8700 (520M)

Current Spot: 0.8638

The strike is somewhat distant from spot.

However, if euro strength develops, traders may begin targeting a recovery toward:

0.8700

as the next significant option-related attraction level.


Market Structure

The current options landscape highlights three major themes:

EUR/USD

Short-Term:

  • Recovery toward 1.1560–1.1570

Medium-Term:

  • Potential move toward 1.1700

USD/JPY

Primary Focus:

  • 160.00 stabilization

AUD/USD

Primary Magnet:

  • 0.7050

Trading Focus

EUR/USD

  • Watch for a move back toward 1.1570 on Tuesday
  • 1.1560 becomes the key level on Wednesday
  • Medium-term recovery toward 1.1700 remains possible if dollar strength fades

USD/JPY

  • 160.00 remains the dominant strike
  • 160.50 serves as the next upside target
  • Monitor for pullbacks toward 159 if profit-taking accelerates

AUD/USD

  • 0.7050 remains the primary anchor level
  • 0.7000 becomes the next major reference point on Wednesday

Summary

The options market remains centered on:

USD/JPY at 160.00

and

EUR/USD at 1.1570

For USD/JPY, option positioning on both Tuesday and Wednesday is heavily concentrated around the 160 level, suggesting that price action may remain anchored near this zone into the New York cut.

Meanwhile, EUR/USD continues to show short-term attraction toward 1.1570, while medium-term positioning still leaves room for a broader recovery toward 1.1700.

The key question for traders is whether recent dollar strength can continue, or whether positioning ahead of upcoming U.S. inflation data begins to trigger a larger corrective move against the dollar.
