EURGBP Shorts Short EURO / Long GBP as team GB starts to benefit from a positive post Brexit narrative. Eur sentiment soured with mishandling of Northern Ireland border and proposed vaccine restrictions. A Sign of things to come? Meanwhile, relative to Europe and America, GB leads the way in vaccination programs and efficacy is starting to show in the data. Trans Pacific Trade group application and the prospect of 100's or 1000's wealthy Hong Kong citizens is well received.
From a TA perspective we look set to test to test the lower end of the post referendum range @ 0.83.
Week Ahead: COT Currency ReportOverall:
With the CFTC data updated until 30 March the EUR showed the biggest decrease of (-19.5K) and the AUD showing the biggest increase of (+6K).
AUD, NZD & CAD:
Positioning still favours further upside for the three high beta FX majors. The strong push higher in global equities last week is another positive catalyst to keep in mind in the week ahead.
Even though we maintain an upside bias for the AUD, NZD and CAD, but given the BOC's recent action to discontinue some of their market functioning programs and the complete reversal of NZ10Y after it's recent push lower we would prefer the NZD and CAD above the AUD as we also
have the RBA this week which could influence the AUD.
The med-term bias for all three remains titled higher.
JPY & CHF & USD:
The big deviation in positioning we mentioned in last week's report saw some mean reversion in the JPY albeit it only minor moves. With risk appetite taking a more positive turn at the latter part of last week, and with the solid economic data points from the US, the risk on added additional pressure on the JPY, but positioning still has some possible room left to unwind which is a risk to our medterm downside bias.
The Dollar's price action at the latter part of last week was very important. Despite the best ISM Mfg PMI since 1984 and despite a solid NFP print which came in much higher than expectations, the Dollar failed to sustain any meaningful upside, and instead continued it's overdue mean reversion to the downside.
This might be the first signal that the positioning-related squeeze might be fizzling out and could potentially be the market turning it's attention back to the reflation narrative as we head into the highly anticipated Q2 of 2021.
GBP:
The bias for Sterling remains firmly titled to the upside, we maintain an upside bias in GBPUSD, especially with the Dollar's soft price
action following last week's solid data points.
The calendar will be very light for Sterling, so the overall focus will arguably fall predominantly on price action in the EUR and the USD.
EUR:
The reasons to expect downside for the EUR has been on the rise recently. Whether we consider the vaccine roll out, or recent virus numbers, or lockdown restrictions, or relative growth dynamics, or policy normalization expectations, all the above point to further downside for the EUR versus the USD and GBP, as well as the high betas.
Despite shedding a lot of net long positioning in the past two months, the EUR remains the largest net long position among the majors, which means there is quite a bit of room to run to the downside if the above concerns continue to pressure the single currency.
However, the one caveat to the EUR is it's sensitivity to the Dollar. With the Dollar pushing lower we've seen the EUR breathe a sigh of relief, and as long as the Dollar remains pressured we could see the EUR gaining some upside momentum.
This report reflects the COT data updated until 30 Mar 2021.

EUR/GBP Breaking the Daily ConsolidationGood day traders! Today we want to show you our daily chart analysis of the EUR/GBP pair, since it is behaving in an interesting way and we consider it important to take it into account.
🔸As we can see, for more than a year the price has been in a clear downtrend.
🔸All support zones along the way have been penetrated.
🔸About a month ago, the 0.8700 zone was broken, and then the price for almost 30 days was in a consolidation period.
🔸At this moment, it is generating a break in the bearish direction, which, if confirmed, could start the next impulse.
🔸The target of the movement is in the next support zone, at 0.83000. There is about 200 pips of travel towards that level.

EURGBP on a long downtrend 🦐EURGBP on the weekly chart has been moving in a dowtrend for a few weeks in a row.
The price is now trading close to the support area at 0.85300 and never provide a sign of a retracement.
We can expect in the next week a retracement move to retest the resistance area at 0.87 and from there will check the market for the next move.

COT CURRENCY REPORTThis report reflects the COTdata updated until 23 Mar 2021.
Overall:
With the CFTC data updated until 23 March the JPY showed the biggest decrease of (-14K) and the EUR showing the biggest increase of (+3K).
AUD, NZD & CAD:
After sizable moves lower with the recent risk off flushes, all three high betas remain bullish in the med-term outlook, and with relatively small net long positions, there is still more room to run. In the week ahead it's going to be very quiet on the data front, but we will have a few events to watch for WTI which could have impact on the CAD such as the upcoming JMMC meeting and more
developments with the Suez Canal.
Also keep in mind this week we will have month-end and quarter-end, we also have a shortened week due to Good Friday, which means liquidity is likely going to be unfavourable. Thus, even though med-term biases remain intact do watch out for erratic price moves without any real catalyst.
JPY & CHF & USD:
Another big increase in net-short positions for the JPY. The speed of the move in the JPY has been very excessive in the short-term, with the 1-year z-score printing a 4.5 with this past week's data.
That is a very big deviation from the norm, which means we do want to be a bit careful with the JPY from a positioning point of view. Even though the JPY has been at the mercy of moves in US10Y, a sudden move higher from some profit taking is a risk to keep in mind.
The Dollar was the star performer last week, pushing higher across the board even while US10Y was pushing lower for the majority of the week. The short-term drivers that has recently affected the Dollar is still very much in play such as yield differentials, better relative growth & inflation dynamics as well as the faster policy normalization expectations for the FED.
However, again from positioning, the move in the USD does look stretched in the short-term so keep that in mind going into the new week.
GBP:
The bias for Sterling remains titled to the upside, especially versus the EUR, where EURGBP managed to close below the important support at 0.8550.
This week is going to be very light on the data front, so focus will remain on the overall driver for EURGBP such as vaccine roll out (UK well ahead), growth expectations (UK well ahead), monetary policy (UK far less dovish), fiscal policy (EU still waiting for ratification), new virus cases (rising much faster in EU).
EUR:
The reasons to expect downside for the EUR has been on the rise recently. Whether we consider the vaccine roll out, or recent virus numbers, or lockdown restrictions, or relative growth dynamics, or policy normalization expectations, all the above point to further downside for the EUR versus the USD and GBP, as well as the high betas.
Despite shedding a lot of net long positioning in the past two months, the EUR remains the largest net long position among the majors, which means there is quite a bit of room to run to the downside if the above concerns continue to pressure the single currency.
For the week ahead, the focus will be on the incoming US ISM Manufacturing PMI as well as the March NFP report (which is expected to show a sizable jump on the headline). If we see these two data points print significantly higher than expected, it will mean more downside for the EURUSD, which should also be supportive for further EURGBP downside as well.
EURGBP will break the weekly support? 🦐EURGBP after the first test of the weekly support retrace until the 0.5 Fibonacci level below a descending trendline.
The price from there got rejected and now moving for a new test of the support.
According to Plancton's strategy if the price will break below we will set a nice short order.

EURGBP: Be Prepared For Breakout
EURGBP is trading in a sharp bearish trend.
For now, 0.854 is a current structure low.
Though the price keeps setting lower highs, it didn't manage to set a new low.
The trigger that we are waiting for is a daily violation of the underlined yellow support.
Wait for a daily breakout (daily candle close below).
It will lead to a bearish continuation to new lows.
Next goal will be - 0.8485
