Good morning everyone, today on the euro pair, After 26 weeks we had the highest number of Negative net positions for the EUR futures. And we had a Buy signal from the commercial side. Alongside that we can see the DXY is slowing down after starting off 2024 with very strong movement to the upside.

We are at an interesting place in the S&P500, on a positive news week the market failed twice. NFP and CPI news. In my believes and past experience this is showing signs of market exhaustion. I have put a Sell stop at the stop of last weeks price movement risking 1% to gain 2.3%

Creating a pinbar which the price was rejected against going lower. We have gone into the trade with a 0.5% exposure.

Mexican Peso, 16 weeks of short positions compiled for the Peso. This data was gathered by the use of the COT report even with economic growth alongside interest rates which is a positive for the peso. I do believe in the short term peso is over extended.

Interesting price rejection after CPI numbers came out, Peso has not been this high since 2016, 2017. major commercial and non commercial contracts are loading up on the Sell side, price action must confirm.

Cotton Futures This trade once again I took after looking at the COT report and WASDA which reports on the grain and the meat market.A In the COT report once again the markets were crowded from the non commercials and the commercials. WASDA was showing signs of weakening prices on cotton. After a weekly engulfment I waited for price to pull back for a short entry.

EUR - Futures we had a weekly engulfment of course in the weekly time frame, waited for a pull back to get into the market. COT report suggest there is an over crowding of the Non commercials and commercials at this point in the market.

Weekly engulfment and using the COT report there is an area where commercials and non commercial players in the market have crowded the market. After the weekly engulfment i used a pull back to go long on the AUD futures The weekly engulfment was caused by the US NFP report, currently waiting for the CPI report as we speak this week
