IMM Positioning ; Written by Danske Bank | Oct 05 09 09:50 GMT
The latest IMM data covers the week from 22 to 29 September.
Negative sterling sentiment persisting in the market combined with a continued decline in GBP/USD coincided with speculative investors adding further to net short GBP positions. GBP/USD broke lower in the week and several key support levels were taken out on the way down to a 1.5772 low. Net short GBP positions stand at almost 50% of open interest, reflecting that speculative flows have catalysed the GBP sell-off, but also that GBP could gain significantly from a change in sentiment, as shorts look somewhat crowded.
Speculative investors scaled down USD shorts somewhat prior to the publication of US non-farm payrolls data last Friday. However, while some of these positions have been converted into GBP shorts, the chart to the right indicates that the reduction in USD shorts has largely been due to a reduction in overall open interest – i.e. positions being closed down.
Driven by a deteriorating risk sentiment and a drop in the oil price, USD/CAD moved higher and even tested 1.10. This led to a reduction in long CAD positions and while AUD and NZD longs were also scaled down slightly, CAD longs proved most vulnerable.
Overall IMM positions still remain very polarised with speculative investors crowding together on a one-sided bet on a NZD and AUD appreciation and on a continued decline in GBP/USD

her is what im thinking the spike in volume and how feb2009 trend line held out after the unemployment news friday

1- looking for 8765 as a first target

2- if it goes through and stand its ground above 8765 then it might go and test its high @8860

3-if it goes through and stand its ground above 8860 then its going to be looking for a new high

4-all the above will fail if it closes under feb trend line which currently stands in 8570-8580

so for the time being im going to stay long stop loss under the trend line and goodluck to all

my first tp just got filled so now lets see if no.2 is in play

Not long or short AUD but am short NZD, adding to my postion now... avg 0.7250 now (in at 0.72 and now 0.73) .... the news with their business confidence coming out in a couple hours could potentially move this up to .7350 later; but I have a somewhat longer term plan for this trade and may hold it until we lose 0.70... filling the boat if we go 0.75 here.

I wasn't convinced that NZD would break 0.7300 again so soon; but regardless, I scale in on my trades and have planned entries up until a certain point. Still pretty comfortable so far and was happy to add more at 0.7300. I'll be looking for more entries between 0.7400-0.7500 and plan to start exiting if we get a convincing break and hold over 0.7500 (but I think 0.7500 is about as high as we go before we lose 0.7000 again).

NZD follows AUD pretty closely; but I figure, as far as the RBA decision goes, if it causes AUD to rally, NZD wont rally quite as far so my shorts will be safer... but as far as AUD being correlated with the S&P, I agree; but I'd say that EUR has the highest correlation with the S&P by far; do you trade that at all? You can get bigger moves with the EUR than the AUD.

I like the AUD and NZD more than EUR b/c they don't move as much as EUR, which is better for my scaling strategy.

Hi Guys,

I see this Broadening wedge and also What I am seeing is that the volume with which this is going up is nothing but low volume...so the upthrust to make a double top could be the key for a short...

I would also expect to see the upthrust before 3:00 ie before the RBA statement....

Good Luck
These are just my thoughts...

yes i follow eur and your right on the corralation but the thing that conserens me in the eur is that Trichet has been hinting of an intervention for a while now and i dont want to be caught in this bloodshed and as ive learnd over the years never bet aginst a central bank

Hi Blue,

Do you know why I like your posting...everything is very clean...compared to other posters...I dont post that much but only as of late have really been hitting good trades on aussie..hence I would share my thoughts..

I think you trade like me in the sense PA Pivots and Trend lines that is it nothing else...
It took me 5 years to realise it but now am having a blast...

Wish you the best keep it up
