Hey guys, this is the EURAUD pair. I am seeing a lot of longs on the sentiment which leaves me worrying because if you correlate retail sentiment to the actual price they are the opposite. Now with that being said, there is a market maker in play, in fact, there are TWO market makers in play. The first one I have pointed out which I assumed the market maker pulled out already in which has not happened as of now. Today's market behavior has been very choppy indeed and I would not be surprised if traders got burnt badly in the forex market today.
Anyways, there is some tethering going on, I am wondering where is this selling pressure REALLY deriving from. I am looking at EURAUD as an act of tethering and I do believe we should be expecting 100 pip move to the upside. However, I am not greedy and I am not going to speculate tomorrow's gains to be 100 pips. What was interesting is that this morning when I got onto my PC, I thought to myself, why are the fundamentals not correlating with the news of what's going on (Russia vs Ukraine, which is quite serious). There is definitely some uncertainty in the markets correct, hence why I am also long?
Risks
From a technical analysis point of view if you look at the weekly I am basically speculating a 1 every 7 or 8 moves of a reversal this week. The weekly looks attractive to short sell 100% but this is where other factors come into play. In addition, I do believe there are more short sellers waiting below support regions which will push further momentum for EURAUD to go down. On the bright side for longs, a 300+ move from 1.62 displays a quite significant move, and the actual volatility and volume of this pair in which deems to be a bargain for investors in the short/medium term.
As always I will be setting up more long positions if this decides to move lower in regions pointed out.
