Some notable option interest today again 8 March

Further to my daily post and other references here's the contracts in play and an update on price action so far as we head into 15.00 GMT

  • EURUSD: 1.2300 (1.55bln) 1.2350 (700m)
  • USDJPY: 106.00 (USD 1.1bln)
  • GBPUSD: 1.3910-20 (540m)
  • EURGBP: 0.8920 (EUR 310m)
  • AUDUSD:0.7800 (350m)0.7825 (680m)
  • USDCAD:1.2820 (USD 810m)

GBPUSD now 1.3866 after being capped a few times around 1.3900 as per my earlier posts, USDCAD fell to 1.2867 but 1.2820 seemingly a step too far now and back to 1.2885

USDJPY pinned close to 106.00 while EURUSD has some interest at 1.2350 and EURGBP at 0.8920.

Coincidences vis a vis current levels? I think not my friends.

More interest tomorrow to keep in mind. I did warn earlier in my ECB preview that EURUSD was going nowhere new in a hurry.
