COT CURRENCY REPORTAUD, NZD & CAD: Positioning data for the AUD, NZD and CAD updated until the 13th of April still shows more room to run to the upside for the three high beta commodity-sensitive FX majors, even after the recent push higher in the likes of the NZD and AUD. For this week the majority of the attention will turn towards the Canadian Dollar where we will have the BOC's policy and rate decision. Just two weeks ago the expectations that the BOC will look to start tapering their QE program was set in stone, but recent rising virus cases and lockdown restrictions has seen some participants push back these expectations. Apart from that, the past few sessions the overall global risk outlook has been the main external driver for the AUD & NZD and without any major surprises we would expect the two antipodeans to be largely driven by the risk outlook. JPY & CHF & USD: With the US10Y pressured in the past week the JPY was quite resilient among major currencies despite overall positive risk tones. As yields find some equilibrium it will be interesting to see whether the JPY takes its cue more from risk sentiment in the weeks ahead as the strong inverse correlation between US10Y & JPY has been moving lower recently. The USD once again saw downside despite further solid econ data and largely followed US10Y's path lower. However, it was quite noticeable that the Dollar didn't fall further on Thursday despite US10Y pushing lower with quite some pace. Friday did see US10Y finding some reprieve alongside the USD. Even though the Dollar's med-term bias remains titled to the downside, we should keep in mind that yields have not been the only driver for the Dollar over the past few weeks as the overall reflation narrative remains a big focus as well. As the USD's slide coincides with lots of exuberance in equities and VIX treading water on key support, we do need to keep a close eye on overall risk sentiment for some potential mean reversion at some stage, and if equities do have some short-term deleveraging it could see some USD safe haven flows. GBP: The two favourites among the FX majors from a fundamental outlook point of view has been the CAD and the GBP, and it's both of them that has been the weakest among the majors over the past two weeks. Whenever we see price action like this we need to ask ourselves whether anything has changed that could jeopardize the fundamental outlook, and despite some initial concerns about the AstraZeneca vaccine, the main drivers for expecting further upside in the Pound is still intact. However, we also don't want to catch falling knives. In the coming sessions, either waiting for price action to confirm the bullish trend is back in focus or waiting for a positive catalyst to driver the Pound higher seems like the best course of action in the short-term. EUR: The upside in the EUR this past two weeks has gone against the overall downside bias for the single currency which has been based on the EU's slower vaccine roll out; rise in virus cases; new lockdown restrictions; growth differentials; monetary policy expectations; and fiscal stimulus. Some have argued that the big unwind in net long positioning over the past few weeks have seen the EUR reach an equilibrium as most of the negatives mentioned above should already be reflected in the price at this point. ING has also noted that there is a possibility that "traders wanting to jump in early on the EUR recovery story – more signs of which should emerge through the quarter as, for example, vaccination programs gain pace in the likes of France and Germany". However, in our view it's far too early to be buying the EUR en masse in the hopes of an eventual catch up in vaccines and growth, especially on the growth side with the recovery fund yet to be ratified and large parts of the EU still under lockdowns while the UK and US is opening up. But, as we noted last week, the sensitivity of the EUR to the Dollar also explains some of the upside in the EUR, and remains a key factor to watch in the week ahead. *This report reflects the COT data updated until 13 April 2021.

COT CURRENCY REPORTOverall: With the CFTC data updated until 6 April the AUD showed the biggest decrease of (-8K) and the JPY showing the biggest increase of (+1K). AUD, NZD & CAD: Positioning data for the AUD, NZD and CAD updated until the 6th of April still shows more room to run to the upside for the three high beta commodity-sensitive FX majors, especially after the recent push lower in the likes of the NZD and AUD. This week's upcoming RBNZ meeting is expected to largely be a non-event and should not have much to change the med-term outlook for the bank or the NZD. Some meaningful data to watch in the week ahead will be Aussie Jobs data as well as important Chinese growth data for the AUD. As for the CAD, Friday's stellar jobs report should have solidified the market's expectations that the BOC will move forward with tapering QE at the April meeting, and should provide upside momentum for the currency running into the policy meeting. JPY & CHF & USD: The JPY saw a modest come back in positioning, which was to be expected as the currency saw a 96K positioning change going from a +29K net long to a -59K net short position in 6 short weeks. That registered as more than a 4 standard deviation move two weeks ago, and is still showing a -3.3 z-score on a 1-year look back with Friday's CFTC update. The big driver for the JPY remains the US10Y, which means this week's upcoming US bond auctions (10- year and 30-year), as well as incoming CPI data will be very important for the US10Y and thus the JPY. With yield differentials one of the key drivers* of the Dollar in recent weeks, the incoming US data points will be the main focus point for the greenback in the week ahead, alongside overall risk appetite as the better than expected US data and a sizable unwind of the Dollar's oversubscribed short bets have arguably turned the attention for the Dollar back to the med-term bias. GBP: The past few trading sessions have not been kind to the GBP, as short-term concerns about the Astrazeneca vaccine has weighed on the Pound. However, arguably the biggest driver for Sterling has been cross flows as EURGBP saw a sizable squeeze in the extended bearish trend. Even though the bias for EURGBP remains titled lower in the med-term, any extended trend is always susceptible to violent squeeze when reaching key areas of support or resistance. The challenge with a squeeze is that we don't know how long it will last, and with moves like these it's best to either wait for a new fresh bearish catalyst to use as a trigger for new shorting opportunities, or to wait for the pair to break back below key technicals levels with some follow through. EUR: The upside in the EUR this past week has gone against the overall downside bias for the single currency which has been based on the EU's slower vaccine roll out; rise in virus cases; new lockdown restrictions; growth differentials; monetary policy expectations; and fiscal stimulus. Some have argued that the big unwind in net long positioning over the past few weeks have seen the EUR reach an equilibrium as most of the negatives mentioned above should already be reflected in the price at this point. ING has also noted that there is a possibility that "traders wanting to jump in early on the EUR recovery story – more signs of which should emerge through the quarter as, for example, vaccination programs gain pace in the likes of France and Germany". However, in our view it's far too early to be buying the EUR en masse in the hopes of an eventual catch up in vaccines and growth, especially on the growth side with the recovery fund yet to be ratified and large parts of the EU still under lockdowns while the UK and US is opening up.

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.

My ambition is to create an awareness to the traders, to promote the education not to do BLINDLY...If u look my past 4 yrs chart and now...i fine tuned or refined my strategy...and still looking for finetune...so if u r following my trade plans as a signal its not my fault...If you are not encouraging also not mind but dont discourage...if you are not comment also dont leave the negative comments, if you are not motivate also dont demotivate...because NAGATIVE is more powerful than POSITIVE...i wont care about such comments...because of your comments i wont stop anything in MY PRACTICE...it will take time and to digest such comments for first 2-3 days and again i rebuilt my positive activity and my view and then again i keep start my sharing...i dont need a roadblocks in my journey. If it happen also i need to cross that and i continue...but that crossing time is DELAY for my journey to reach my GOAL...so try to be a friend...just learn or leave .if you didnt like a page in your story book just turn that... Don't look that, Like that dont look my chart...just skip that...thanks lot ...here some quotes by BRUCE LEE... 1. I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but i fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times " 2. A GOAL is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to AIM at 3. Those who are UNAWARE they are walking in darkness will never seek the light 4. To hell with circumstances i create the opportunities 5. I don't teach you anything. I just help you to know yourself 6. Always be yourself, express yourself, have a faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. 7. Don't fear failure... in great attempts it is glorious even to fail 8. Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is specifically your own 9. Notice that stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind 10. The successful warrior is the average man with laser-like FOUCS - Market Commentary: LEARNING ELLIOTT WAVES IS LITTLE BIT TOUGH (FOR ME IN BEGINNING) BUT I TOOK IT AS A CHALLENGE AND THAT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE ALSO... First have an look for the positional trend i shared here previous....if you are a follower of me...and sometimes i will share the counter trend trade also in 15 mins and 1hr...but that is risky ones...so if the trend is bearish or bullish, if i am expecting the correction...book the profit there and wait the correction to end and again go with the trend....DONT TRADE THE COUNTER TRADE SETUP...you will took loss too...try to identify the short term pull back and the long term pull back after that took small lots in the short term PB with strict stop and go with big lots in the trend side that is long term. I WONT TOOK ALL THE TRADE PLAN SHARED HERE... Read the market commentary inside the chart what i shared here carefully and try to learn Elliott waves...otherwise its tough to understand the market commentary and my analysis. I wont give a entry, stop loss and take profit in my chart...it is only for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE and i am sharing how i am analyzing the pair and labeling them according to the Elliott wave theory...I AM JUST SHOWING THE TREND HOW IT MAY GO AND MY VIEW(it may wrong too)..so DON'T FOLLOW BLINDLY MY CHART..take this as a reference and if it correlate to you strategy took the trade as per your strategy...DON'T ASK ABOUT YOUR RUNNING TRADES i wont comment on them and I WONT SUGGEST TO TAKE MY TRADE SETUP. I am a technical analyst based on trendline, channel, fib retracements, expansion, stochastic for divergence, EMA's and MA's are finding the pull backs and MAJOR IS ELLIOTT WAVES...those mentioned above are using as a TOOLS only. I am not a fundamental, sentimental trader...but only the fundamental will boost my technical analysis to reach my target or sometimes it will go against me and then i will manage the trade according to the Elliott waves alternate views...Each and every trade plan i am sharing here has a alternate view and i am sharing only the most probabilities(70-80%) here...sometimes the other (20-30%) may market do..then i will change the wave counts and labeling according to the price action. All labeling and wave counts done by me by manually and i will keep change according to the LIVE MARKET PRICE ACTION. So dont bias, hope on my trade plans...try to learn and make your own strategy...Following is not that much easy...I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSSES IF U TOOK THE TRADE ACCORDING TO MY TRADE PLANS....THANKS LOT..CHEERS
