👀 Key Takeaways (At a Glance)
-
EUR/USD
→ Massive option interest at 1.1750 & 1.1800
→ Strong magnet / cap effect near these levels into expiry. -
USD/JPY
→ Huge option cluster between 155.00–157.00
→ Volatility likely to be contained, with sharp moves fading near strikes. -
AUD/USD
→ Thick option zone 0.6550–0.6675
→ Range trading and pinning risk high around this band.
🧭 Trading Implications

USD/JPY volatility is boxed in by massive strikes,
and AUD/USD is likely to remain range-bound near 0.66.”
