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%
For the 1st time im noticing the peso is following the S&P500, far as the Peso goes it had 16 weeks of commercial market shorting the currency. we may be holding this trade for another week or two.
We took a trade previously on GBP with a loss of 0.5% - short, then took another trade after NFP confirmed direction on a swing strategy. along with COT data which helped to confirm the short sizing by the large contract holders we taken another short.
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.
Prior to CPI and Prior to 4 weeks before the CPI of 4/11/2024 We had 4 weeks of sell signals through COT report. Date - Net position 03/19/24 -78,920 3/12/24 -78,920 3/5/24 -64,123 27/2/24 -51,590 Because of these net position changes I have decided to short GBP. So far Cotton short trade is correct currently making 4% AUD Lost .5% EUR Lost .5%
CHF - Futures, there is interesting levels of positioning by the commercials are taking place, it has not yet been confirmed from my end, but there is quite bit of long positions are being taken up by larger traders. Will keep an eye out for turning points in the near future in the next few weeks.
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.
