The gu at 3366/82 ish is a good place to look for a short. Use you own signal if you agree ..3392.5 has a b/o R there.. But the gbp to me is stronger than the euro. A Euro short may be better

[quote=gatorinla;15239678]A big "If". if it can break and hold below 1278... That's a drop sign.[/quote
Hi Gator it broke 1278 but did not hold. Is this a sign of downsde confirmation for eu?

Its a good question... I view it bearish below 1337 today. But it has to take and hold below 1278 to start. It didnt make the LL yet.

{quote} missed eu atm too. If it holds 1337/38 R. Its the bear side. It opens up a drop. Its attracted to 1367, but it may not make it {image}

The EG is below .8513/14. Above is sustained may be a b/o. But if it holds its a good R area.. Cot may favor EG shorts {image} {image}
Be sure to take a little profit if your gonna ride it.

The GU did not close below 3285. So i longed it.. Not now.. but later that will change to 3292 If the eu gets a sustained hold above 1338. it may be going up too (1367). As much as i wanted it too. It didnt take 1278 In a couple of hours the R at 1307 will expire.. it may test 1338 {image}
it missed the gu first time, but it may be coming back for a kiss
I was long and closed 11 pips from the entry. I'm glad I did.

Possible long u-chf. 0.8202 Support area.. The usd just is not running. Were probably just setting a range. If the court rules against dummy. The usd can strengthen.

A possible EU range 1278/1391 if it cant take and hold below 1278.. I figured FOMC would break 1278.. it hasn't atm. It may need the wheaties at 1337.. 1367 is lc, I didnt think it would get there. I can always be wrong

It looks like a trade deal with GB. One of the few countries we have a trade surplus with.

It may move in a minute

over what cot indicates. I closed EG, I went long. Tp 0.8534. I'm probably wrong. Tp is about 55 pips. My 15 min signaled long. I think pa has an attraction to 0.8534x for Friday.
There may a opening to short 0.8534ish with COT later.. The long trade is against what Cot indicated.

Lc closed slightly below 1278.7.. Maybe it will be enough to free it.. But it may come back again to 1278..

CFTC made a mistake on last weeks report for 4-29-25. the data you posted was for 4-22-26. They didn't update properly. I'm looking at Futures and options combined. The spread is much tighter.

How did you post the data? I can't seem to do that. Thx

The eu according to this info is weaker than the gbp. I took a shot it will run up some anytime now before Friday. From there it may fall very hard EG. I may be wrong with the long first. Its against COT to long EG. But earlier 1278 was holding eu up
