Euro Futures (6E) – Bearish Drift Below ResistanceEuro Futures (6E) appears to be grinding lower showing clear signs of fading bullish momentum. After a bounce off 1.16160 support on July 17, Euro Futures (6E) made a failed push into 1.17995 resistance on Tuesday, July 22, a level that’s acted as a firm ceiling since June 26. Since then, price action has been in a descending broadening channel, often a precursor to further downside with expanding volatility as sellers control the tempo. As of 5:20 AM GMT, the structure points to continued weakness. I expect 6E to settle around 1.17170 – 1.16990 by close of Wednesday, July 23, 2025. 📉 Bias: Bearish 🔍 Pattern: Broadening Descending Channel 🕒 Date: July 23, 2025

End-of-Session Market ReviewToday was a solid trading day with some interesting moves across the markets: S&P 500: The market trended upwards from the open, gradually moving into and above the prior day’s value area, closing near the high of that range. NASDAQ 100: After some initial back-and-forth, it climbed above the prior day’s high and value area, showing strength into the close. Russell 2000: This market was quite choppy and balanced for a good part of the session, but eventually pushed up to close near the prior value area high. Gold: It stayed range-bound, moving between the CVA high and the prior day’s value area without breaking out. Crude Oil: We saw a significant drop right from the start, with prices falling about 1.5 points and ending the day lower, though still within the prior day’s range. Euro Dollar: It tested the CVA low, dipped below the prior day’s low, and then bounced back to close around that level. Yen Dollar: It started near the prior value area low, accepted below it by midday, and remained balanced in that lower range. Aussie Dollar: Initially, it held above the CVA area and tested a higher level before sharply dropping below the prior day’s low and then balancing in that lower area. In total, I took eight trades today. Two of them were in the Yen, both valid setups that didn’t work out and ended in stop-outs. I also took some long trades in the Aussie Dollar that I probably could have avoided since the market was choppy. On the positive side, I managed risk well and ended up with two winning trades that put me in the green by about $1,200. Overall, I’d rate today as an A- day. Moving forward, I’ll focus on staying out of choppy markets, paying attention to the developing value area, and possibly using Heikin Ashi bars for better clarity.

Still waters before ECB waves?This morning, Euro FX futures (June contract 6EM5) are trading around 1.14300, still contained within the upper end of a well-established range between 1.1350 and 1.1450. The volume profile continues to show a heavy concentration of activity around 1.1380, reflecting a neutral stance from market participants as they await the ECB’s policy decision later today. The macro context is clear: eurozone inflation just came in at 1.9% YoY, a figure already below the ECB’s 2% target, and the consistency of the disinflation trend has shifted expectations. Markets now see today’s 25 basis point rate cut as a near certainty, bringing the deposit rate from 2.40% to 2.15%. But the real focus lies in the forward guidance. Investors will be watching closely for signals on whether the ECB will continue easing through the summer or adopt a more cautious, data-dependent stance, especially with the Federal Reserve still on hold in a 4.25–4.50% range, and US inflation proving more persistent. Sentiment remains neutral to slightly bearish: retail traders are still about 60% short, while institutional flows appear more balanced. Implied volatility is low, with EUR/USD vol and the VIX both subdued, creating ideal conditions for range trading, at least on the surface. With significant open interest sitting at 1.1350 and 1.1400 on the June 6EM5 options board, the market is effectively pinned and in wait mode. Traders will need to stay nimble while the post-decision reaction could break this temporary equilibrium. Time for perspective: when markets go quiet, let’s get curious With the market clearly in limbo and no compelling directional trade setup this morning, it’s an ideal opportunity to step back and look deeper at what this range-bound phase might be hiding. Periods of low volatility and tight consolidation may feel uneventful, but they often precede the most decisive market moves. Traders who understand the structural dynamics behind these calm phases, and why they often lead to sharp breakouts, will be better positioned to react quickly when volatility returns. So, what exactly makes low volatility environments potentially dangerous? Let’s unpack the mechanics behind the calm-before-the-storm setup. Why low volatility often precedes an explosive breakout 1. Position buildup and leverage exposure In range-bound markets, traders tend to build up positions near support and resistance levels, often with excessive leverage. The longer a range holds, the more confident participants become in fading it, creating clusters of stop-loss orders just beyond the boundaries. Once price breaks out, those stops can cascade and generate fast, exaggerated moves in the direction of the breakout. This is particularly relevant in the FX space, where margin and leverage are widely used. 2. Dealer positioning and gamma squeeze risk Low-volatility regimes are often accompanied by aggressive option selling. Dealers who are short options (typically on both sides) hedge delta exposure daily. As price approaches heavily populated strikes (such as 1.1400), they may be forced to buy or sell futures to remain neutral. If the underlying breaks out beyond a major strike, dealers can become forced buyers or sellers, driving price further in the same direction. This feedback loop is known as a gamma squeeze, and it's a common driver of explosive moves from low-volatility setups. 3. Liquidity compression outside the range Inside established ranges, liquidity is typically deep. Market makers and passive orders ensure two-sided flow. But once the market breaks out, liquidity can evaporate. With fewer resting orders above resistance or below support, price can jump large distances on relatively light flow. This creates the conditions for quick, directional surges, not because of massive volume, but because of a sudden absence of liquidity. 4. Misleading risk models Risk systems like Value-at-Risk (VaR) generally rely on recent historical volatility to determine position sizing and exposure. In prolonged calm markets, VaR shrinks and risk budgets expand. Traders and institutions might take on larger positions than they would in more volatile environments, falsely reassured by the quiet. If a breakout suddenly injects volatility into the system, these positions can become excessively risky, triggering a chain of margin calls, forced liquidations, or panic adjustments, all of which further amplify the move. 5. The psychological trap of stability Perhaps most importantly, low volatility lulls traders into complacency. They shrink their stop losses, stretch their entries, and begin to assume the range will hold “because it has.” But volatility is mean-reverting by nature. When a catalyst appears, be it a surprise from the ECB, geopolitical headlines, or simply a technical breakout, the transition from low to high volatility is often violent and abrupt. Final thought: expect the unexpected Traders, especially retail traders, love quiet markets, until they stop being quiet. This morning, the euro is pinned in place, volatility is suppressed, and positioning is relatively balanced. But beneath this apparent calm lies a market ripe for reprice. The ECB is widely expected to cut rates by 25 basis points today, that much is in the price. What’s not yet priced, however, is the exact message that will accompany the move. If the ECB delivers a dovish tone, the euro is likely to weaken. But if the statement or press conference turns out more hawkish than expected, even slightly, the euro could rally sharply. When volatility is cheap and expectations are compressed, it takes little to unleash a large move. So while there’s no clear trade to take right now, this is the kind of day that sets the tone for the next few weeks. When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.

That Wasn’t a Breakout, That Was a Mugging!The Euro thought it could sneak one past the quant crowd. It creeped up into 1.1690–1.1710, broke some weak highs, and even teased a breakout. Then boom! rejected harder than a dodgy NFT pitch in 2024. We're inside a bearish channel, mid-supply zone, and price just faked out everyone chasing the highs. This is trap territory, and the sellers are circling like vultures. Why This Zone? - Bearish channel — structure holding strong - Liquidity grab — swept the highs, printed a long upper wick - SMMA resistance — price slammed into the dynamic ceiling - Wick = trap — always a mood This is where dumb money gets long. We don’t do that here. Tap, Trap, Slap Trade Plan (Short Bias) - Entry: 1.1695 (anywhere inside 1.1690–1.1710) - Confirmation: 15M/1H bearish engulfing or rejection wick - Stop Loss: Above 1.1725 (don't give it CPR) - TP1: 1.1650 – first shelf of support - TP2: 1.1610 – breakdown level - TP3 (greedy target): 1.1585 macro demand where bulls reload Staakd Rating: 7.5/10 Bearish Bias - Structure - Volume spike into supply - Rejection wick - Bullish continuation? Not yet, brotha! Invalidation Level If the 1H candle closes above 1.1725, I'm officially wrong. Close the trade. Don’t beg. Bonus Stats Supply rejections like this inside a defined channel with clean liquidity traps? these setups historically resolve short 65–70% of the time, assuming no news nukes the setup. Are you shorting this trap? Already in from the wick? Or are you waiting for price to cough up another fake out? Let’s hear it. Drop your setups, throw your TPs in the chat, and may your drawdown be nonexistent.

Trading Day SummaryTrading Day Summary Today wasn’t a winning day on the books, but it was a major win in discipline. I hit my daily loss limit before 10 AM, stopped live trading, and switched over to paper trades to protect my capital. The setups I took—especially in Gold and Euro—lacked full confirmation, and one overnight trade didn’t align with my plan. I experienced around $200 in slippage, which added to the loss. The bright side? I stayed in control. No revenge trades. No emotional spirals. My paper trade afterward was textbook—5R+ potential. That tells me the strategy is sound. Execution and timing just need to be sharper. Bottom line: this is a marathon, not a sprint. I’m proud of the discipline and the mindset. Tomorrow, we reset and refocus.

Euro LongsI've been waiting for euro to reach discount of its daily range and deliver into a daily BISI. Mon - Wed trade lower into key arrays. Intraweek reversal confirmed with 4h and 1h CISD. Paired with Pound SMT at the daily lows. LRLR built up from last weeks pullback. That bsl looks too obvious to me. Entering off 1h cisd at 1.16650. Stop at Wednesday low. Targeting manipulation leg STD levels and relative equal highs at 1.19045 If the weekly draw on liquidity is to the upside, this intraweek reversal will hold. I know im wrong on direction if Wednesday low doesnt hold. The framework and logic line up with what I look for. Midweek Reversal daily profile. Thursday continuation in play.

Pre-Market Prep Today, I'm narrowing down to six key markets. For the S&P, it's all about waiting for a pullback from the prior day's high or a breakout above the CVA. If it dips back inside the range, I'm ready to go short with some scalps. For the NASDAQ, it's looking strong. I'm thinking about a long position if it pulls back to the prior day's high. Gold is in a downtrend across all areas, and I'm already in a short position from the CVA low. I'm thinking about adding to that if it pulls back to the prior day's low. Crude Oil is pretty balanced. I'm looking at the high of the CVA for a short opportunity if it gets there. For the Yen and Euro, both are rotational. I'm eyeing long opportunities if they show some acceptance and pullbacks from key levels. That's the vibe for today. Let's trade smart, avoid the chop, and keep it moving. Peace!

Opportunities Arise from Dollar WeaknessSince the dollar peaked in 2022, it has declined by 24%. Such a decline may not seem significant for a stock, it’s a different story when it comes to currencies, especially a reserve currency for USD. US purchasing power has dropped by a quarter, meaning they will now have to pay 24% more for imports from EU. However, the decline in the USD also presents opportunities in other markets.

EUR/USD (6E1!) Nears Critical Monthly Supply ZoneThe EUR/USD futures (6E1!) are currently trading at 1.1858, already inside a key monthly supply zone. With price action approaching higher resistance levels, traders should prepare for potential reversals—especially near the 1.20395 – 1.22710 range, where a major bearish reaction could unfold. Key Technical Levels to Watch Current Price: 1.1858, testing the lower bounds of a monthly supply zone. Weekly Supply Areas: Highlighted on the chart, signaling potential selling pressure ahead. Primary Target Zone for Shorts: 1.21240 – 1.22710 (within the broader 1.20395 – 1.22710 range). Breakout Scenario: A sustained move above 1.22710 could invalidate the bearish structure, targeting 1.2400+. COT Report Reveals Market Sentiment Shifts The latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report shows: Commercials (Smart Money): Accumulating bearish positions, suggesting institutional hedging at these levels. Non-Commercials (Large Speculators): Still bullish but stagnant—no major additions or reductions in exposure. Retail Traders: Remain bullish, often a contrarian signal when Commercials are increasing shorts. This setup suggests that while momentum is still upward, the lack of new buying from Non-Commercials and Commercials increasing shorts could lead to a reversal.

FX quarter end : a high-probability recurring patternAs we approach the end of June, a well-known phenomenon among FX traders is once again coming into focus: when currencies have diverged significantly over the course of a month or quarter, we often see a technical correction into the final trading session, with partial pullbacks in the pairs that had previously moved the most. This end-of-month or quarter pattern is not random. It is the predictable result of recurring institutional flows. Recently, the US dollar has notably weakened against most major currencies. As a result, we could anticipate a modest bounce in the dollar to close out the month and start the new week, as various participants are likely to adjust their positions accordingly. Performance of FX futures contracts from Sunday, June 1 to Friday, June 27: Swiss Franc +3.71% Euro +3.61% British Pound +1.95% New Zealand Dollar +1.58% Australian Dollar +1.50% Canadian Dollar +0.67% Japanese Yen +0.16% Performance of FX futures contracts from Tuesday, April 1 to Friday, June 27: Swiss Franc +10.73% Euro +8.40% New Zealand Dollar +6.90% British Pound +6.26% Canadian Dollar +5.23% Australian Dollar +4.80% Japanese Yen +3.68% These figures illustrate a broad-based decline in the dollar during June and over the entire second quarter. Historically, such imbalances open the door to late-stage adjustments, with currencies that have risen sharply often seeing modest technical pullbacks. This is a setup closely monitored by FX traders, who view it as a high-probability opportunity based on a pattern that is rare, but remarkably consistent. FX rebalancing: mechanics and market players At the heart of these adjustments lies one key concept: rebalancing. This is the process by which institutional players, pension funds, insurers, central banks, passive managers, bond funds, corporates adjust their FX exposures to stay in line with the targets defined in their mandates. Every month, the value of their assets (equities, bonds, alternatives) and currency holdings fluctuate. If a currency appreciates sharply, its weight in the portfolio may become too high. Conversely, if a currency weakens, exposure might fall below target. Rebalancing involves buying or selling FX to return to those target allocations. This process is recurring, predictable, and usually concentrated in a narrow window, the final hours of the trading month, just before the London 4pm fix. Quarter-ends tend to be even more pronounced, as many investors revisit long-term strategic allocations at that time. Many of these adjustments are driven by systematic models using fixed thresholds, which adds to the consistency and timing of these flows. Ideal setup: low volatility, high impact June 2025 ends in a particularly calm environment: equity markets are stable or even rising, and the VIX is trading near its yearly lows, signs of a quiet and balanced market that favors more technical trading. This context is favorable for strategies aiming to take advantage of rebalancing effects, as in the absence of new announcements or unexpected events, these adjustments are likely to have a tangible impact on prices. Conversely, in a more volatile market environment, such adjustments could be drowned out by larger flows (such as a flight to quality), thus having a reduced or even negligible impact. FX options: another layer of flows Another important factor on Monday, June 30: a large number of FX options expire at 10am New York (3pm London). These expiries cover several major pairs, with significant notional amounts concentrated near current spot levels. According to what is currently being whispered on trading desk chat rooms, we expect the following large expiries: EUR/USD: €3.0bn at 1.1650 (below spot) USD/JPY: $1.6bn at 145.50 (above spot) USD/CHF: $1.8bn at 0.8000 (above spot) GBP/USD: £1.0bn at 1.3600 (below spot) AUD/USD: A$1.1bn at 0.6425 (below spot) When spot approaches these strikes, option holders or sellers may intervene to "pin" prices, based on their delta exposure. This behavior can amplify technical price movements in the hours before expiration. When these heavy expirations align with month/quarter end rebalancing flows in a quiet, low-volatility market, it creates a strong potential cocktail for tactical moves, conducive to a dollar rebound into the fix. How to trade the pattern effectively Here’s a simplified roadmap to navigate this recurring pattern: Identify monthly or quarterly extremes: look for the currencies that gained or lost the most over the period; Assess the market environment: a low VIX, no major data or central bank events, meaningful trends, and significant options expiries are ideal conditions; Use liquid and transparent instruments: Sep 2025 FX futures (standard, e-mini or micro) are currently the most suitable products for active positioning Set realistic expectations: aim for a 0.5% to 1.0% pullback, not a full-blown trend reversal Manage risk properly: as with any strategy, always use a stop-loss. This is quantitative trading, not fortune-telling. If the USD continues to weaken despite the setup, be ready to exit swiftly. In short... Quarter/month end FX rebalancing is one of the few market events where anticipated institutional flows can create repeatable, high-probability trading opportunities. These flows stem from real portfolio needs and systematic re-hedging, and are often amplified by option expiries and technical positioning. This setup provides a great educational case study for any trader seeking to better understand hidden FX dynamics. There’s no secret indicator or crystal ball here, just a solid grasp of structural flows and timing. From a personal standpoint, after over 20 years trading currencies, this strategy remains one of my favorites: simple, effective, and highly instructive. I encourage you to study it closely, and observe its behavior during upcoming month-end windows. --- When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.
