Australian Dollar is nearing extension conditions on the sell side in multiple metrics so the next cycle is the buy side but it will be a contra-cycle.
Let me explain why I look at how EURGBP trades if trading EURUSD, GBPUSD or both.
Depending on the overall spot trend in this currencies, when I see EURUSD selling and the cross moving down, I may assume the selling is related to EURGBP more than EUR vs the USD.
EURUSD last at 1.0916 and EURGBP at .8410 vs. earlier 1.0905 and .8404 lows.
Go to the Trading Club if you want me to elaborate.
I like the buy side of Euro around 1.09. Futures 0920-30 zone is intact. Was clear to me some major entities were just playing games the other day and caused a lot of coffee and head shaking among the little people who’s stops were run. Based on what? Widespread inconsistencies in metrics such as futures, options, forwards, neural-networks, visual recognition of some whale orders which were not hedges but rather stop runs which were actually profit taking that did not damage overall allocations, etc. Banks and the like have been in way before yesterday.
Today my preference has shifted to the buy side of Sterling and I don’t see selling follow through in US stocks from yesterday of much consequence and am eyeing the buy side for now.
Purely for reference: 7/16 – I will be out of the office tomorrow so just a quick note. I do not see Sterling doing much over 1.300 and will be favoring the sell side, which is an addition to the sell side positions just established very lightly to start. Since I am can be active in options, futures, or spot if I am making such notes it does not mean I am allocating to spot but just noting the price relation.
Democrat leaders seem to be circling the wagons around Biden and donors are pulling back pushing him io step down. Logic says it is only a mnatter of time but we could have said that months ago.
Question is how will markets react to Biden stepping down. Much will depend on who replaces him and how that impacts the polls.
