There are just a couple of expiries to take note of on the day, as highlighted in bold below.
They are both for EUR/USD at the 1.1760 and 1.1800 levels. The technical snapshot for the currency pair right now is that price action is settling between some key near-term levels. The floor is set out by the 200-hour moving average, seen at 1.1752 currently. Meanwhile, the daily ceiling is at the 1.1800 mark.
As such, the expiries above may play a role in keeping that technical cage for EUR/USD price action, barring any headline surprises in the session ahead.
As mentioned time and time again for many weeks now, the main driver of trading sentiment remains the US-Iran conflict and its impact on the dollar and broader risk mood in particular. That means headline risks are paramount and will be the biggest influence on price action, no matter what the expiry size or levels might dictate.
So, just keep that in mind when viewing the expiries board and how to take that into consideration when studying price action.
If we are to see the cautious optimism hold and a steadier tone, the technical cage and the expiries above may help to keep things more limited in European trading later. But on any headline shocks or surprises, that will be the bigger factor in play to move prices no matter what – especially on a week like this one.
