Buying the â¬uro:
I would like to buy #eurusd at a lower level and the german zew or the PMiâs could brig us around 1.30 or lower (catalysts). Thereâs no fundamental reason to this, only a medium term behavior mainly due to money leaving GBP, who build his strength on âan anti â¬uroâ temporary status, and CHF because of the now attenuated tail risk (see my post on EurChf core position). We donât know if the structural short covering has ended so far, I think real money is late on this, we will know more after the IMM release on thursday.
Tactical Trade:
The main Idea behind that position is the likely structural shorts covering massively their positions. How is the IMM data on this will be known on Thursday (COT report).
Why would they cover is purely linked to inflows coming from other assets to day too expensive seeing the big diminution in the tail risk (EZ collapse).
My take on this: On the attached chart you see my pending at 1.3022, and more importantly the several levels I think its going to reach on a probability I base at 80%, 60% and 50% for 1.33, 1.34, and 1.35 respectively. Above 1.33 stops and pending interests are stacked in 200p width providing a huge liquidity area. For that reason this seems to me the sought after place where big accounts can close their shorts without pushing the market too high against them while liquidating . Also all these levels are subject to attacks from different sides since they are likely barriers protecting big exotic options at rounded prices, yet this need to be confirmed . Above 1.35 is an uncharted territory, and I think that it's not easy to go higher unless the short covering is really massive.
An entry level not that good, because didn't take into consideration the the existing home sales release today that could bring us lower during the liquidity search (some mistakingly call it stop hunt) since we were near a rounded number and a significant S/R. Often this mistake is based on aggressive bias mainly because some other pendings were not filled for few pips and would have been nice winners.
