Get ready for a thrilling journey into the world of FX options! Today, we're diving into the expiries for February 12th, 10 am New York time. But here's the catch: there's a lack of major expiries to watch out for!
Despite this, there are some notable EUR/USD expiries at the 1.1750-60 levels. However, these might not make a significant impact on the market. The dollar has strengthened post-US jobs report, but it's not enough to cause a substantial shift in price action just yet.
For EUR/USD specifically, the overnight decline found support at the 200-hour moving average, currently at 1.1841. This level will be crucial in determining the near-term price movement. A break below this level could open the door to further declines, with the next target being 1.1800, where bids are layered.
With no major catalysts expected and all eyes on tomorrow's US CPI report, trading sentiment might remain subdued. Market participants will be left to navigate the waters with limited guidance, unless, of course, the US weekly initial jobless claims data surprises us today.
