FX Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 1st June 2020

Thank you for visiting the Forex Academy FX Options market combined volume expiries section. Each day, where available, we will bring you notable maturities in FX Options of amounts of $100 million-plus, and where these large combined maturities at specified currency exchange rates often have a magnetic effect on price action, especially in the hours leading to their maturities, which happens daily at 10.00 AM Eastern time. This is because the big institutional players hedge their positions accordingly. Each option expiry should be considered ‘in-play’ with a good chance of a strike if labelled in red, still in play and a possible strike if labelled in orange and ‘out of play’ and an unlikely strike if labelled in blue, with regard to the likelihood of price action meeting the strike price at maturity.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

FX option expiries for June 1 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1000 3.8bn
  • 1.1100 1.7bn
  • 1.1250 2.5bn


EURUSD pair is overbought on the one hour chart and showing signs of running out of steam to the upside with a double top formation and with Markit PMI’s and US data out before the New York cut. The 1.1100 maturity is very much in play. The 1.1000 maturity should not be discounted due to its massive size.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts        

  • 1.2210 428m
  • 1.2220 471m

GBPUSD pair is approaching an area of resistance but moving in an upward channel. The 2 maturities look to be out of play. UK and US data out later.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 107.40 525m
  • 107.80 820m
  • 108.05 881m
  • 108.10 450m
  • 108.25 375m
  • 108.30 680m


USDJPY pair is in a bear channel but oversold on our one hour chart. The 107.40 maturity looks to be the most likely candidate for a strike. Look out for US PMI data later.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

As you can see on the charts we have also plotted the expiration levels at the various exchange rate maturities and we have also labelled in red, orange and blue. Therefore, if you see option expiry exchange rates labelled in red these should be considered in-play, because we believe there is a greater chance of the expiry maturing at these levels based on technical analysis at the time of writing. There is still a lesser possibility of a strike if they are in orange and so these are ‘in-play’ too. However, if we have labelled them in blue, they should be considered ‘not in-play’ and therefore price action would be unlikely to reach these levels, which are often referred to as Strikes, at the time of the 10 AM New York cut.

Our technical analysis is based on exchange rates which may be several hours earlier in the day and may not reflect price action at the time of the maturities. Also, we have not factored in economic data releases or keynote speeches by policymakers, or potential market volatility leading up to the cut.

Although we have added some technical analysis we suggest you take the levels and plot them onto your own trading charts and incorporate the information into your own trading methodology in order to use the information to your advantage.

Remember the higher the amount, the larger the gravitational pull towards the exchange rate maturity at 10:00 AM Eastern time.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that this information is for educational purposes. Also, the maturities will look more or less likely to become a strike at 10 AM NY time due to exchange rate fluctuations resulting in a different perspective with regard to technical analysis, and also due to upcoming economic data releases for the associated pairs.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

FX option expiries for May 29 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1050 547m 

The EURUSD pair is overbought on the one hour chart and there is a good chance of a pullback due to profit-taking as price begins to fade. Eurozone and US data out later.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts        

  • 1.2200 259m
  • 1.2225 463m
  • 1.2300 475m
  • 1.2355 257m
  • 1.2375 225m
  • 1.2450 349m

Cable has run into an area of resistance at 1.2350 and is currently overbought on our one hour chart. Likely to find support at 1.23. US data up during the US session and an important announcement from Pres. Trump regarding China. This will likely cause market turmoil.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 107.50 361m
  • 108.25 526m
  • 108.50 520m

USDJPY pair is oversold on our one hour chart. Yesterday we pointed out that price action had previously stalled at the 5 areas we marked. Indeed that happened again yesterday. Expect some upside where the 107.50 maturity looks to be in play.

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts

  • 0.6600 1.1bn 
  • 0.6650 666m
  • 0.6700 1.5bn

AUDUSD is in a bull retracement having found support at 0.6600. Currently looking to break out of a wedge formation. The upside looks as if it still has more room on our one hour chart which is overbought. The pair is likely to conform with the US$ so watch out for news and data due out later.

– EUR/GBP: EUR amounts

  • 0.8900 455m

The EURGBP pair is well bid with Euro’s getting bought across the board. This option at 0.8900 is out of play.

As you can see on the charts we have also plotted the expiration levels at the various exchange rate maturities and we have also labelled in red, orange and blue.

FX Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 28 May 2020

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

FX option expiries for May 28 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.0995 612m
  • 1.1020 673m


EURUSD pair on our one hour chart has begun to find a firm footing above the key 1.10 exchange rate. Currently oversold and trapped in a wedge formation the 1.1020 maturity is looking attractive. However, we have a slew of data coming out of the Eurozone area during the European session, including, inflation and personal spending and other data including initial claims due from the US before the 10 AM cut.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts        

  • 1.2160 701m 


The GBPUSD pair saw a sharp bear reversal yesterday to the key 1.22 level, which was rejected. Price action is currently muted and consolidating as traders seek the next break out. Again, this may be dependent on the US data due out at 1.30 (BST). We could see another push lower due to uncertainties and tension regarding the trade EU trade talks. The 1.2160 maturity looks to be out of play.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 106.95 360m
  • 107.00 535m
  • 107.10 369m
  • 107.75 400m
  • 107.90 1.8bn
  • 108.33 446m

USDJPY is currently trading in a tight consolidation range on our one hour chart. The 107.90 maturity is large at $1.8 Bn and will prove to be a strong magnet for price action up to the release of the US data and then on to the New York Cut. 5 previous attempts at similar high levels have resulted in a push lower.

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6230 209m 


NZDUSD is in a tight bullish channel where the price action is somewhat muted. The pair will likely conform with the general trend in the US Dollar (long US dollar short NZ $ or vice versa) during the European and US session. The 0.6230 maturity is in play.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As you can see on the charts we have also plotted the expiration levels at the various exchange rate maturities and we have also labelled in red, orange and blue. Therefore, if you see option expiry exchange rates labelled in red these should be considered in-play, because we believe there is a greater chance of the expiry maturing at these levels based on technical analysis at the time of writing.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

FX option expiries for May 27 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.0930 871m
  • 1.0990 1.0bn

The EURUSD pair has found some support overnight at the 1.0950 level and is currently oversold on our one hour chart. Price action was capped just under the key 1.10 level in yesterday’s European and US session but a large €1B option expiry at 1.0990 will act as a magnet. Caution should be noted as there are key ECB policymaker speeches due this morning, including Ms Lagarde.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts

  • 1.2500 460m

 

Cable is coming off a bull run where it ran into resistance at 1.2362 after HM Gov announced an easing of lockdown measures and where the ECB policymakers eased their stance on fishery rights which might open the way to more successful trade talks next month. Even so, the 1.25 option looks well out of play as the pair remains in a bear channel due to profit-taking.

 

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 107.80 868m
  • 107.90 889m
  • 108.15 1.0bn

 


After a corrective double top downturn, the USDJPY pair is in a consolidation phase. A breakout is imminent, the likely candidate is a continuation to the bear move.

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts

  • 0.6600 1.1bn
  • 0.6650 633m

The AUSUSD pair is stuck in a low volume sideways action and the 0.6650 cut is right in the middle. Expect a continuation in this motion as price action is thin.

– EUR/GBP: EUR amounts

  • 0.8900 794m

EURGBP is in a sideways move as it consolidates looking for the next breakout. The pound has been firming over the last 24 hours and ECB policymaker speeches due in the next few hours may set the tone for the next move out of this price action phase. The 0.8900 is a large expiry and looks to be very much in play.

As you can see on the charts we have also plotted the expiration levels at the various exchange rate maturities and we have also labelled in red, orange and blue.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.0900 885m
  • 1.0945 732m

The EURUSD pair is caught in an upward trend on our one-hour time frame. Currently pulling back from an overbought position we can expect that the pair will remain bullish during the European and US session. Therefore, both of our maturities remain in play. A slew of US data due out at 1:30 BST, which is before the cut, may have a significant impact on price action.

 

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts        

  • 1.2125 255m

The GBPUSD pair has caught a bid tone having failed to breach the support line. The pair is near an area of previous resistance and may see a pullback before the 10 AM New York cut. However, the maturity at 1.2125 is out of play.

 

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 107.25 440m
  • 107.90 403m


The USDJPY pair is continuing in its bull trend and the 107.90 Cut is very much in play. The pair is overbought on our one hour chart but seems to be holding up and aside from the US data due out as previously mentioned, the pair should remain bid.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As you can see on the charts we have also plotted the expiration levels at the various exchange rate maturities and we have also labelled in red, orange and blue. Therefore, if you see option expiry exchange rates labelled in red these should be considered in-play, because we believe there is a greater chance of the expiry maturing at these levels based on technical analysis at the time of writing.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.0795 628m
  • 1.0895 559m

The EURUSD pair is in a bear channel but is oversold on our one hour chart. We should expect subdued price action due to a lack of market data out today and the fact that it is a public holiday in the UK and USA. The option maturity at 1.0895 is currently in close proximity to the exchange rate and we may see a pull-back to the level later in the session. However, at the moment the bears are in control..

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 1.0795 628m
  • 1.0895 559m

The USDJPY pair is in a pull-back phase of a bull trend on our one hour chart. The 107.95 option maturity is very much in play. Again, a lack of economic data and public holiday in the USA may see subdued price action. However, the pair has been known for extra volatility during US public holidays and caution should be taken around the time of the New York cut.

FX Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 20 May 2020

Thank you for visiting the Forex Academy FX Options market combined volume expiries section. Each day, where available, we will bring you notable maturities in FX Options of amounts of $100 million-plus, and where these large combined maturities at specified currency exchange rates often have a magnetic effect on price action, especially in the hours leading to their maturities, which happens daily at 10.00 AM Eastern time. This is because the big institutional players hedge their positions accordingly. Each option expiry should be considered ‘in-play’ with a good chance of a strike if labelled in red, still in play and a possible strike if labelled in orange and ‘out of play’ and an unlikely strike if labelled in blue, with regard to the likelihood of price action meeting the strike price at maturity.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

FX option expiries for May 20 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.0930 629m 

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts        

  • 1.2150 332m
  • 1.2250 216m

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 106.89 507m
  • 107.00 416m
  • 107.70 595m
  • 108.00 934m
  • 108.70 500m

– USD/CAD: USD amounts

  • 1.3750 710m 

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6060 267m

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As you can see on the charts we have also plotted the expiration levels at the various exchange rate maturities and we have also labelled in red, orange and blue. Therefore, if you see option expiry exchange rates labelled in red these should be considered in-play, because we believe there is a greater chance of the expiry maturing at these levels based on technical analysis at the time of writing. There is still a lesser possibility of a strike if they are in orange and so these are ‘in-play’ too. However, if we have labelled them in blue, they should be considered ‘not in-play’ and therefore price action would be unlikely to reach these levels, which are often referred to as Strikes, at the time of the 10 AM New York cut.

Our technical analysis is based on exchange rates which may be several hours earlier in the day and may not reflect price action at the time of the maturities. Also, we have not factored in economic data releases or keynote speeches by policymakers, or potential market volatility leading up to the cut.

Although we have added some technical analysis we suggest you take the levels and plot them onto your own trading charts and incorporate the information into your own trading methodology in order to use the information to your advantage.

Remember the higher the amount, the larger the gravitational pull towards the exchange rate maturity at 10:00 AM Eastern time.

FX option expiries for May 13 New York cut

Thank you for visiting Forex.Academy’s FX Options Expiries Section. Each day, where available, Forex Academy will bring you notable maturities in FX Options of volumes of $100 million-plus, as these large commutative maturities at the specified currency exchange rates often have a magnetic pull on price action, especially in the hours near their maturities. These happens daily at 10.00 AM Eastern time. This effect is due to the big institutional players hedging their positions using option derivatives. Each option expiry has to be considered ‘in-the-money’ if labelled as Hot and Warm, or ‘out of the money’ if labelled Cold with regard to the likelihood of price action meeting the strike price at maturity.

As we can see on the charts we have also plotted the expiration levels at the various exchange rate maturities and we have also labelled them as cold, warm or hot.

Therefore, if you spot exchange rates labelled as warm or hot, these should be considered In-Play. That is because we believe there is a greater likelihood of the expiry maturing at these levels based on the technical analysis at the time of this writing. However, if you see them labelled as Cold, they should be considered Not In-Play; thus it would be unlikely that price action could reach these levels, which are referred to as Strikes, at the New York’s cut time. Please consider that upcoming economic data releases are not factored in, nor did we take into account policymaker speeches that may modify the technical analysis outlook in the hours leading up to the expiration.

We suggest you plot these levels onto your own trading charts and combine this information into your own trading methodology in order to use the information to your advantage.

Remember the higher the volume of interest, the larger the gravitational pull towards the exchange rate maturity at 10:00 AM Eastern time.

FX option expiries for Apr 29, NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

Hello everybody and thank you for joining us for the daily FX expiries briefing video for the 10 am New York cut today. If it is your first time with us, the FX currency options market runs in tandem with the spot FX market, but where traders typically place Call and Put trades on the future value of a currency exchange rate and these futures contracts typically run from 1 day to weeks, or months.

Each day we bring you details of the notable FX option expiries where they have an accumulative value of a minimum of $100M + and where quite often these institutional size expiries can act as a magnet for price action in the Spot FX arena leading up to the 10 a.m. cut.
We will also plot the levels on to the relevant charts at the various exchange rates where there are due to expire, and also identify the levels which are in play, and where we believe there is a greater chance of the expiry maturing based on technical analysis at the time of writing, we will label them as hot, warm or cold.

So today, we have Option Expires for the EURUSD, one of which is considered Hot at 1.0865 in the amount of €1.1bn. This is very much in the money with price action currently very close to the strike rate.

We also have Warm strikes at 1.0815 for €531m and 1.0865 for €1.1bn


Also, there is also an Option expiring for the USDJPY pair at 107.30 for $555M, however, although this is currently cold, as price action on our one hour chart is gravitating to the downside currently.


Moving on to the GBPUSD, we have one notable strike, which is in the money and labeled Hot on our 1-hour chart at 1.2415 for £268M. Price has been very volatile for the pair but looks to be running out of steam to the upside at the time of writing.


Finally, we have two hot ones for you in EURGBP at 0.8675 for €526 M and 0.8700 in €600M. Price action is in a downward channel on our one hour chart.
We suggest you take the levels and plot them onto your own trading charts and incorporate the information into your own trading methodology in order to use the information to your advantage.
Remember, the higher the amount, the larger the gravitational pull towards the exchange rate maturity at 10:00 AM Eastern time.

Each day we bring you details of the notable FX option expiries where they have an accumulative value of a minimum of $100M + and where quite often these institutional size expiries can act as a magnet for price action in the Spot FX arena leading up to the 10 a.m. cut.

We will also plot the levels on to the relevant charts at the various exchange rates where there are due to expire, and also identify the levels which are in play, and where we believe there is a greater chance of the expiry maturing based on technical analysis at the time of writing, we will label them as hot, warm or cold.


So today we have Option Expires for the EURUSD Pair The levels are all in Euro amounts and are as follows:

As stated, we have color-coded the levels on the chart from COLD WARM HOT with regard to the likelihood of the exchange rate reaching these levels at the 10 a.m. cut based on technical analysis at the time of writing.
