EssentialA quick look at the options sentiment on Japanese Yen futures (not spot) — and there’s something interesting on the flow radar. On July 10 , a "Put Condor" was placed — boundaries marked by the yellow rectangle on the chart (№1). The goal of this setup? Price should expire within these boundaries — meaning the seller expects limited downside , but still allows...
Australian dollar is up 0.8% in 24h — and almost eyeing the 0.66–0.665 zone . That’s exactly where we’ve been seeing a systematic build-up of naked calls on the futures. More “bricks” added to the wall yesterday. Early, looking at the CME data , there’s been a meaningful inflow in deep-out-of-the-money call options at the 0.665 strike . And this has been...
Here’s what we’re seeing from the latest CME block trade data & CME report: 🐻 Confirmed & Detailed Bearish Sentiment Big players are actively hedging and betting on a drop. Block trades are targeting key downside levels: $62.50 , $55.00 , and even as low as $45.00 . This isn’t noise — it’s institutional conviction. 🐂 Strong Bullish Resistance At the same time,...
Still looking to sell on rallies — nothing’s changed. The level on the chart? That’s where buyers jumped in before. Makes sense to target it again. So… why do we say there are "suffering buyers" at this level? Let’s rewind a bit (see Chart #2) and imagine price at the point marked on the chart. At that moment, price had clearly returned to a visible local...
Here’s the latest aggregated data on the pair: 📊 4 out of 5 indicators suggest potential for further downside. Sentiment - Bearish! A quick note on sentiment in the table: ✅ It’s structured hierarchically — from the broadest view (COT reports) to specific entry points (algorithmic setups). So, Retail traders are massively long USD/CHF — over 80% still buying ,...
The AUD is stuck inside its recent range — trading has gone sideways, and trying to predict a breakout direction ahead of key moves would be premature (for more on the “Suffering Trader” concept, click here ). Price is consolidating just below a cluster of previously opened retail longs. This "failure to achieve" undermines the case of shorting this level...
So far, there are no significant changes in the options flow suggesting a shift in sentiment or restructuring of previously established bullish positions. The market remains on watch, but interesting signals are coming from other sources. According to the latest COT reports , institutional players continue to align with the current trend, reinforcing its...
Eye-catching activity in August AUD options with a strike at 0.67 . The break-even point for this portfolio sits slightly higher, at 0.674 — and judging by open interest, this is the largest position in play. Quick reminder: A break-even level like this could act as a synthetic put building zone by adding short futures to their positions. That means profit...
Based on the analysis of yesterday's trading on CME, we have captured an excellent portfolio in the lens. The trader methodically formed this position in a 5-minute period of time, which is a good sign. Сonfirmation - the market is already moving in his direction But, reasonable entry level - above 0.7339. Don't rush it. The risk/profit ratio is still at...
Gold is stuck in a tight sideways range. It’s been bouncing between $3,370–$3,380 for two days now. Everyone sees it. Every trader watching gold knows this level acted as support — and judging by the candle shadows, buyers are getting aggressive here. So if you're purely technical — yeah, looks like a solid buy right now. But here’s the...
Hey guys, vacation’s over — time to get back behind the screen and into the reports. Naturally, I kicked things off with a deep dive into ETH options activity , because that’s where the real market whispers come from. Here’s what stood out: Over the past week, the biggest trading volume and open interest inflow came at strikes $3000–$3200–$3400 (see screenshot)....
CME session update. 115 000$ partially closed just closed right before the price drop — someone had a piece of their options portfolio at 115,000 strike level already squared away. Safe to say it was an experienced player who got out near the top 💡 The good news: "he" still have about 2/3 of the portfolio open at that 115K strike. The bad news: nothing’s...

For those watching or trading the USD/JPY pair: the spread of 0.007–0.0072 on the Yen futures is still in play We're 30 days out from expiry, and there are no clear reasons to brake a rally in the futures contract (which would mean a drop in USD/JPY). Now, a quick word on Expected Range (ER) and its boundaries. As we’ve seen, price didn’t quite reach the 2 ER...
