FX Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 13th August 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 Aug 13 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1650 518m
  • 1.1700 1.6bn
  • 1.1725 602m
  • 1.1760 589m
  • 1.1775 521m
  • 1.1825 634m

EURUSD current price action is in the range of a large cluster of option expiries and should contain price action. US data up later will be the next test.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 105.50 1.0bn
  • 106.00 1.1bn
  • 106.70 888m
  • 107.00 850m
  • 107.20 651m
  • 107.30 378m

USDJPY is in a bull trend pullback having failed an earlier test to hit 107.00. The bulls will want another crack at it.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts

  • 1.3000 750m

GBPUSD saw price action fail to reach the 1.30 level even after the worst UK recession data in decades. Only good news in the form of US data or an agreed Covid relief package will cause another test of this level.

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts

  • 0.7100 1.2bn

AUDUSD is in consolidation mode. The bulls will be looking for a test of 0.72. The option expiry is out of play.

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6515 213m

NZDUSD is oversold but remains in a bear channel.

………………………………………………………………………………….

As you can see on the preferred 1-hour chart(s), 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.

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 Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 30th July 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 July 30 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 105.00 712m
  • 105.55 524m
  • 105.75 500m
  • 106.00 1.9bn

USDJPY is sandwiched in a narrow range with 105.00 in the middle acting as a magnet. A cluster of options at and above this level should keep price action muted for the time being. Expect volatility during the late European and early US session as high impact data releases will affect this pair.

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 July 17 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

EUR/USD (euro amount)

  •  1.1300 982m
  •  1.1400 584m
  •  1.1500 512m

EURUSD is consolidating but the 1.14 option expiry is within range. Eurozone data and policymaker speeches pre the 10 AM cut may play a role in the next trend direction. Crunch time July 17-18 European Union summit in Brussels regarding the recovery fund.

USD/JPY (USD amount)

  •  106.00 1.3bn
  •  108.00 498m
  •  108.50 942m

USDJPY is eyeing the 107.00 level. All three option expiries are out of play.

………………………………………………………………………………….

As you can see on the preferred 1-hour chart(s), 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 Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 16th July 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 July 16 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1320 519m
  • 1.1350 2.0bn
  • 1.1400 853m
  • 1.1435 570m
  • 1.1450 712m
  • 1.1550 880m

EURUSD pair should remain elevated pre-Euro Covid pandemic relief package decision. Interest rate decision and US data out later could all cause big swings before the 10 AM cut.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts

  • 1.2510 369m

GBPUSD recent trend lines have held true. So, the writing is on the wall; bears are in control. The 1.2510 option remains in-play.  Expect turbulence as the Euro zone interest rate and US data is released pre the 10 AM cut.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 107.25 576m
  • 107.30 556m
  • 107.35 410m

USDJPY, lots of support and resistance lines to consider, with tight consolidation ruling the pair momentarily. A break above 107.00 with the resistance subsequently forming support will pave the way for the cluster of 3 option expiries. US data will play a part in price action later.

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts

  • 0.6980 563m

AUDUSD, we see evidence of price capping to the upside and price action fading and failing to find support above the psychological 0.70 level. The option looks to be in-play.

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6510 568m

NZDUSD has topped out and is in a bear channel. The 0.6500 area is open for a retest leaving the option in play. The US Dollar will lead the way today.

………………………………………………………………………………….

As you can see on the preferred 1-hour chart(s), 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.

EURUSD (1-hour chart) pair was capped at 1.1345 and has been in a declining wedge formation overnight and the support line has been breached. Expect more to the downside where two option expiries look to be in play.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts

  • 1.2650 250m

GBPUSD (1-hour chart) has been finding it tough to stay above 1.25 and has been in a tight sideways action for 24 hours. The support line has been breached. The210 option maturity is out of play.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 107.00 401m

After a tight sideways action since the beginning of July on the 1-hour chart the pair found a bid tone break out during the Asian session. Currently overbought, but the option looks to be out of play.

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts

  • 0.6915 633m

AUDUSD (1-hour chart) is oversold, however, the pair will conform to the USD action which is bid currently. Our option expiry remains in-play.

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6520 676m

NZDUSD (1-hour chart) is oversold but price action has peaked and the pair will be driven by US dollar strength. The one option expiry remains 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. 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 Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 6th July 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 July 6 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1210 616m
  • 1.1215 554m
  • 1.1345 881m
EURUSD pair currently overbought on the one-hour chart but remains bid after the US holiday. Expect price action to test 1.13 key level and if it finds support here the 1.1345 option will look more likely. Eurozone and US data up later.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts

GBPUSD is in a top and tail consolidation range (one-hour chart). The previous top will not likely be revisited today due to the early breakup in Brexit negotiations which ended with a negative tone from both camps yesterday and will not resume again until 20th July.  The bears will be looking for opportunities to short the pair as sentiment turns negative.

  • 107.00 749m
  • 107.50 591m
  • 108.00 1.0bn

– USD/CAD: USD amounts

  • 1.3505 600m

USDCAD is in a bear wedge squeeze and likely break to the downside in thin volumes and where the US dollar took on an unexpected bid tone yesterday after better than expected NFP.

  • 1.1330 695m
  • 1.1400 524m

  • 1.2450 609m

  • 106.75 440m
  • 107.00 474m
  • 107.50 950m

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts

AUDUSD is overbought on the one-hour chart. Just one option expiry is in play.

– USD/CAD: USD amounts

USDCAD is in a bull trend but overbought on the one-hour chart. US and Canadian data will play a role in adding volume to the pair which has seen thin trading since the end of June.

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

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

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1180 593m
  • 1.1220 625m
  • 1.1270 1.4bn
  • 1.1350 968m

EURUSD pair is failing to find the bid tone which accelerated it up and away from the 1.1200 level yesterday. Price action is muted and consolidating before the next trend develops. Euro-area data and US data including FOMC Minutes may help to find the next push. The 1.1220 option maturity remains in-play and the most likely candidate.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts

  • 1.2400 503m

GBPUSD pair is maintaining its bid tone from yesterday. The 1.1200 option expiry is well within range. US data out later will play a role in the next direction.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 107.30 405m

USDJPY pair is oversold on the one-hour chart. But the push higher from yesterday may have resulted in some profit-taking. The 107.30 option maturity is in play. US data out later will play a role in the next direction.

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6430 802m
  • 0.6450 870m

Yesterday’s break out to the upside of a narrow consolidation range for the NZDUSD pair on the one-hour chart went nowhere. Expected muted price action until the US data out later.

FX Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 30th 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.

FX option expiries for June 30 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1140 712m
  • 1185 1.6bn
  • 1250 1.5bn
  • 1300 1.4bn

EURUSD pair is oversold on the one-hour chart with support to be found at the key 1.120 level. Expect this to be tested during the European session with the 1.1185 option expiry looking like a firm candidate for a strike at the New York cut

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 107.35 465m
  • 107.50 696m

The USDJPY pair is struggling (one hour chart) after a push higher which formed a double top from yesterday’s range bound break out to the upside. Although the bull run will likely continue after a period of consolidation, our two option expiries may well act as a magnate until after the New York cut.

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts

  • 0.6900 1.4b

AUDUSD will follow US$ impetus today, and that can only mean pressure to the downside as the Greenback strengthens. Consolidation is also seen where price action is failing to recapture ground around 0.6900.

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6360 1.4b
  • 0.6400 245m

NZDUSD is in a tight consolidation phase on the one-hour chart. The pair will be dominated by the US$ during the European and US session today. 0.6400 looks to be in-play and is right on the support line.

  • 1.1165 760m
  • 1.1200 855m
  • 1.1270 989m
  • 1.1300 888m

EURUSD pair broke free to the upside from a consolidation range with 1.1200 showing strong support. Likely candidates for a strike at the New York cut at 1.1270 & 1.1300 as the pair remains in a bull trend. Eurozone and US data out later, plus month end and quarter end rebalancing may all cause volatility.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 108.00 431m

USDJPY is in a bull trend squeeze with the resistance line at 107.37. The pair will need a strong break above here before the 108.00 option maturity comes in play.

– USD/CAD: USD amounts

  • 1.3720 562m

USDCAD is in a descending wedge formation. The squeeze to the downside looks likely leaving the option expiry at 1.3720 out of play.

  • 1.1200 2.2bn
  • 1.1250 764m
  • 1.1300 699m
  • 1.1350 586m

The EURUSD pair is in a consolidation phase after the recent bear move. Support and resistance lines have been added on the one-hour chart. The likely area is around 1.12 for price action at the New York cut. Watch out for US data before then

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 106.00 641m
  • 107.00 463m
  • 108.00 390m

USDJPY is ignoring the oversold indicator on the one-hour chart and price action is fading from the recent high at 107.40. Expect some price action dithering until the US data has been released. The 107.00 option remains in play.

– USD/CAD: USD amounts

  • 1.3800 951m

USDCAD is still bid. But the 1.3800 option is currently not in play.

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6400 402m

NZDUSD price action will likely conform to the general bid tone in the USD. Expect downside in the pair where the 0.6400 option remains in play if the support line can be breached on the one-hour chart.

  • 1.1300 987m
  • 1.1400 736m

EURUSD (1-hour chart) pair is pausing from the bear move yesterday where price action consolidated at position A, and where the support line became a resistance line and where price action was defended at the key 1.13 level. Buyers eventually through the towel in, even after better data came from Germany. This was driven by Dollar strength and where that will continue today, at least until the important slew of US data out later today. The 1.1200 option expiry looks the most likely contender for a strike.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 105.78 500m
  • 107.00 475m
  • 107.40 501m
  • 108.00 530m

USDJPY is showing signs of being overbought, including the stochastic and divergence. The likely contender for a strike is the 107.00 option maturity. However, signs are that the Yen currency may get bought as risk-off factor gets some momentum due to the spike in Covid-19 cases in the USA. Data from the USA will be telling for the pair later.

– USD/CAD: USD amounts

  • 1.3500 957m
  • 1.3800 2.4bn

USDCAD is in a strong bull trend and is likely to continue for the duration of the European session, at least until US data comes out today. Both option expiries look to be out of play.

Watch out for Initial jobless claims and GDP from the USA plus a slew of other data at 1:30 BST today.

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

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 Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 24th 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.

USDCAD is looking to break out of a consolidation phase with price action fading to the upside on our one hour chart. The overbought indicator is being ignored. Price action is bullish. 1.3600 is in play.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts

  • 106.73 500m

USDJPY had a recent break out from a wedge formation, but the upside break was limited to a mere 26 pips, suggesting a lack of buying power.

– EUR/GBP: EUR amounts

  • 0.9010 447m

EURGBP is in a consolidation phase with a downside bias. The pair is overbought on the one-hour chart. Price action is tilted to the downside and a test of the key 0.90 level looks to be on the cards, thus leaving our option maturity in play.

Watch out for PMIs form the Eurozone, UK and USA later which could affect both of the above.

  • 1.1260 664m

EURUSD is in a bear channel and is in a pullback from a dip below the key 1.1200 line and is now overbought. Price action is hovering above the key 1.1200 level but pressure remains to the downside. The economic calendar is light during the European session. The key 1.12 maturity remains in play.

  • 1.2400 525m
  • 1.2415 299m

  • 0.6800 836m
  • 0.6900 826m

AUDUSD price action is muted on the one hour chart with a tight bull range. 0.6900 option is within range but this key level may prove more of a barrier than a magnet.

– EUR/GBP: EUR amounts

  • 0.8930 545m

EURGBP found a strong bid tone yesterday to lift it back above the 0.90 exchange rate. The option maturity looks to be well out of play.

  • 1.1245 640m
  • 1.1260 711m

EURUSD is overbought on the one hour chart. And the size of the candlesticks over the Asian session indicates that volume is thin. Potential for price action to retest the 1.1200 key level, however, the 1.1250 must be breached first. Key US data out later,

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 106.00 483m
  • 107.45 356m
  • 108.00 432m

USDJPY finally broke out of its tight consolidation range to the downside and is currently giving back some of that bear run. The options for today all remain out of play. Look out for the US data including Initial Claims later today as the impetus for the next move.

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts       

  •  0.6925 530m

AUDUSD is overbought on the one hour chart. The momentum for a retest of 0.70 to the upside has long run out of steam. A push lower seems likely leaving today’s option expiry out of play.

  • 1.1300 825m
  • 1.1325 862m

EURUSD is stuck in a range between 1.1220 and 1.1400 during June. Overnight saw the pair consolidate in a tight range at section A, and it is currently breaking out of that range and moving higher, although overbought n the one hour chart. Both option maturities are in play. Watch out for Eurozone and US data before the cut.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 107.25 1.1bn
  • 107.50 363m

USDJPY pair is in a consolidation phase which has spilled over from yesterday. Both options remain in play with a small bias towards the 107.50 maturity. US data out later may help the pair find impetus for a break from the tight range.

– USD/CAD: USD amounts

  • 1.3500 780m

USDCAD has flirted with the key 1.3500 exchange rate but not punched through for over a week. Currently in a descending wedge formation. The squeeze could well push is lower than the support level. The 1.3500 maturity remains in play.

– EUR/GBP: EUR amounts

  • 0.8925 483m

The EURGBP has resisted a move above the key 0.90 level and found strong resistance there. Currently flagging bull run arrears to be running out of steam and the pair is overbought on the one-hour time frame. There is potential for a second attempt at the support line we have highlighted at around 0.8915 which would leave our maturity in play.

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 Options Market Combined Volume Expiries for 12th 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 12 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1275 540m
  • 1.1310 608m
  • 1.1430 781m

EURUSD consolidating on the one hour chart having been overbought. Two significant sized maturities are in close proximity to the current price action.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 107.35 443m
  • 108.00 851m

USDJPY is overbought on the one hour chart. Expect a pullback and continuation to the red maturity. US data will impact on price action during the US session. Further sell-offs on US equities could promote the Yen to safe haven where we might expect the pair to fall lower.

– USD/CAD: USD amounts

  • 1.3500 541m

The USDCAD pair hit the buffers at 1.3665 and is retracing lower. Currently oversold, but the pair could gain some impetus to reach the maturity at the key 1.35 level later today. Watch for US data later which will be released before the 10 AM cut..

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

FX option expiries for June 11 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1250 915m
  • 1.1350 642m

The EURUSD pair has rejected a multi-month high after the FOMC meeting yesterday. And the current price action on our one hour chart is oversold at position A, but the pair looks to be ignoring this and testing 1.1350 to the downside. If this can hold there is a strong chance the pair will conform to technical analysis until the US data including initial jobless claims out later today when the 1.1350 maturity will come into play.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts        

  • 1.2695 239m

The GBPUSD pair is oversold on the one hour chart and is finding support at 1.2653 and which shows long tails at this level for the 3 previous candles. US data later today may spur a break from these levels. The 1.2695 maturity remains in play.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 107.50 373m
  • 108.00 432m

The USDJPY pair is approaching overbought on the one hour chart. Yesterday’s bearish price action which we brought you broke through the A B C wedge formation. Watch out for a push back to one of the support lines during the European and US sessions and where the 107.50 maturity will remain in play. US economic data release will affect the price action before the cut.

– NZD/USD: NZD amounts

  • 0.6615 233m

NZDUSD pair is trading off of a double bottom support line at 0.6468 and is oversold on the one hour chart It is likely to struggle to find the impetus to reach the maturity without a negative market reaction to the initial jobless claims fro the USA later today.

– EUR/GBP: EUR amounts

  • 0.8995 604m

The EURGBP pair was overbought at 0.8916 (position A) on the one hour chart having found strong support at 0.8890 The O/B was ignored. The pair remains in a bull trend. Today’s maturity remains 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.

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

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1300 1.0b
  • 1.1390 714m

The EURUSD pair is in a consolidation period having strongly rejected a move below 1.1250 (position A) during yesterdays European and US session. Currently overbought on our one hour chart, but price is currently looking to test the resistance line at 1.1362. The 1.1390 maturity looks more likely, and especially if a candlestick can be formed above the 1.1362 level, which would confirm the resistance becoming a support line. US data and Eurozone policymaker speeches before the cut may affect price action.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 106.90 530m  
  • 108.20 580m

The USDJPY pair is maintaining a bear trend with pullbacks, but is oversold on our one hour chart and price action is currently fading. 107.00 will act as a strong support barrier. Meanwhile, key support levels at 107.50 and 107.40 have both been breached and the bears remain in control.

– AUD/USD: AUD amounts

  • 0.6900 554m

The AUDUSD pair is in a wedge formation with the 0.7000 level acting as an area of resistance. If a candlestick can be formed above this key level, it will act to move the pair to the previous high at 0.7042 and beyond. The maturity at 0.69 looks to be out of play.

FX option expiries for June 9 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1300 802m

The EURUSD pair is in a sideways consolidation channel and oversold on our one hour chart. However, the support line is currently being tested and it looks like the bull traders are about to throw the towel in on the 1.1300 key level where our option maturity is today. Important Eurozone data including unemployment and GDP will be an acid test for the Euro and is due out soon.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 107.85 390m

USDJPY has found support at the level of the option maturity. However, the bear move was strong. Expect more downward pressure. The option expiry remains in-play.

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

FX option expiries for June 5 NY cut at 10:00 Eastern Time, via DTCC, can be found below.

– EUR/USD: EUR amounts

  • 1.1235 900m
  • 1.1250 892m
  • 1.1300 600m

The EURUSD pair is overbought on the one hour chart but we are in uncharted waters up at this multi-month high of 1.1370 at the time of writing. Potential for a pullback/consolidation phase as the market takes stock of these new levels and general weakness in the US Dollar. Yesterday’s saw a flat refusal to pull under the 1.1200 key round number for the pair. The next big test will be US Non-Farm payrolls and associated data release before the New York Cut at 10 AM. Eastern time. Until then the 1.1300 maturity is in play.


– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 108.80 1.0bn

USDJPY is in a bull trend which remains true of yesterday’s analysis where we suggested the price action had more upside to run. Price action is subdued and the one hour chart is overbought. US data out later applies just as much here also. The maturity at 108.80 looks unlikely but is only 46 pips away from the current price action. Watch for a break under the lower trend line to confirm downside and a break in the trend to the maturity.


– USD/CAD: USD amounts

  • 1.3400 969m
  • 1.3500 2.3bn

USDCAD is in a descending wedge formation with pressure building to the downside. The narrow trading range of late tells us the market is unsure of directional bias. Overall US dollar weakness is the main driving factor in the strength of the Loonie. Again, US and Canadian employment data due out before the New York cut will define the next trend in price action. The 1.3400 maturity looks the most likely candidate in current conditions.

  • 1.1215 603m
  • 1.1245 617m

The EURUSD pair is off of its highs and in a downward channel but oversold on the one hour chart. A slew of data out later including ECB interest rate decision and initial jobless claims in the US could see market volatility. Current maturities are in play, but the data release may well push these into the shade as the day progresses and data is taken on board post-release.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 107.85 435m
  • 108.00 578m
  • 108.10 475m

The USDJPY pair is in an upward channel where a previous key area of resistance has become an area of support. The option expiries are out of play. Expect more upside.

  • 1.1180 567m
  • 1.1210 770m
  • 1.1215 582m
  • 1.1220 597m


EURUSD pair is overbought on our one hour chart but remains well bid. There are several option maturities just above the key 1.12 level and with Eurozone and US data due over the next few hours expect a pullback before the 10 AM New York cut.

– GBP/USD: GBP amounts        

  • 1.2560 603m 


GBPUSD is approaching an area of resistance just above the key 1.26 level and the maturity at 1.2560 is large in size at £603M. UK and US data out before the cut. Expect a reversal in the current bullish price action.

– USD/JPY: USD amounts         

  • 108.06 446m
  • 108.50 445m
  • 108.70 355m


USDJPY is in a consolidation phase after the bull push during yesterday’s European session. US data out may well influence the next breakout from the current price range. The 2 red options at 108.70 and 108.50 will likely act as a magnet until then.
