🧠 Structural Summary
✔ EUR/USD: 1.1850 = ultra-magnet level
✔ USD/JPY: Pull toward 154
✔ GBP/USD: 1.3600 pin structure
✔ Overall market tone: Pin/containment structure rather than breakout structure
🎯 Strategic Implication
This is not a “chase the breakout” environment.
It is a gravity-driven options market where:
-
Reversion to large strikes dominates
-
Intraday spikes tend to fade
-
Expiry levels matter more than momentum
Short-term tactics should favor magnet behavior over trend projection.
