This caught my eye. Last week's Commitment Of Traders report showed a large decrease in EUR shorts. EUR short 95K vs 106K short last week. Shorts trimmed by 11 K Could the banks be betting that the EUR has bottomed out?
The downtrend is far from over in my books. However, I think 1.107-8 area may be a temporary bottom which should bounce price hard. We should then get some good prices to sell from again.

I know I should be waiting for weekly pivot around 1.1184-9 area to short, but my fingers are itchy. Short 1.1162 SL 1.12. TP: 1.1130.

Extra notes:

1. The size of this trade is almost useless to me: 0.05lot. Just did it to satisfy my urge to short the daily pivot area.
2. Asia sold, so Mondays usually having a singular direction, I expect price to be sold down to around my TP area.
3. There is a light options expiry at 1.1150 ( €720m) 10AM N.Y. cut. I expect price to crawl and somehow find is way to 1.1150 by 14GMT if the 1.1150 is some strike price for the price movers.
4. If I see a spike to the weekly pivot which coincides with the 30EMA sitting around 1.1186 (+-) area I'll add to my short.
5. Close to 1.11 and slightly below I'll start buying for some bounce.

Note to Self: There's a big options expiry at 1.1180 for Wednesday. Who knows, price would probably find a way to crawl there on Wednesday during expiry time. I'd like to keep this in mind wherever price is at before Wednesday.

I'm not an options expert, just learning to pay attention to it once in a while.

There was 1.6 billion at 1.1175 Friday and price was right there for options to expire before dropping. I think they matter

If it bounces up good.. but if it doesn't then I have 1.1143 and 1.1130 as the lowest targets until closing minute of current daily candle..

Hi Miti,

I was reading up on options on investopedia based on your post but I am still rather confused as to why price would want to climb up to the expiry price? Wouldn't the option just expire on wednesday and those who were correct get profit and those who were wrong experience losses? If you could help to shed some light that would be really helpful!

Basically (and Miti will give you a better answer) big boys don’t lose money.

So basically they want to make sure it expires on the opposite side of where most retail traders are at so they don't have to pay out as much?
