Get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the world of FX option expiries! The market is about to get interesting, and you won't want to miss this!
On February 12th, at 10 am New York time, we have some FX option expiries to keep an eye on. While there aren't any massive, attention-grabbing expiries, there are a few notable ones that could impact the market.
For EUR/USD, we have some significant expiries at the 1.1750-60 levels. However, these might not be the game-changers we initially thought. The dollar has strengthened post-US jobs report, but it's not quite enough to cause a significant shift in price action just yet.
But here's where it gets controversial... The EUR/USD pair's overnight decline was halted by the 200-hour moving average, currently sitting at 1.1841. This level becomes our key focus for today, acting as a potential support for price action. If this level breaks, we could see prices move towards 1.1800, testing the bids layered at that level.
In the absence of major catalysts and with all eyes on tomorrow's US CPI report, the market might lack direction. And this is the part most people miss... Without a clear driver, market sentiment could be influenced by smaller factors, like today's US weekly initial jobless claims data.
So, market participants will be on high alert, waiting for any surprises that could shake things up.
