We’re halfway through the last trading day of the month; let’s see how things are shaping up for the market players.
Euro/Dollar started moving higher after 6 o’clock, and a gain of 46 pips left it point 26% in the green at noon. Trading, however, has been somewhat slower than usual, and the neutral traders’ sentiment stands at 3% short. Bulls have been in better positions so far.
The Cable did rebound after its drop of 77 pips, but it still stood point 33% down from the opening level at midday. Traded volume is 66% up from the monthly average, and most traders anticipated a rise, as bullish positions prevail by 23%. Some success was possible late in the session, but the overall trend makes losses more likely.
Dollar/Yen was back at the starting point after walking in the total range of 37 pips. Trading has been typical in terms of funding, and the sentiment is neutral at 6% long. Success depends on timing, but it probably will be limited by the narrow rate movement.
Pound/Yen’s single biggest move was a drop of 109 pips, and it stood point 33% in the red at 12 o’clock. Traded volume is much lower than usual, and the sentiment, much like the rate movement, indeed is bearish at 21% short. Success is likely, although more funding would’ve increased it.
And Euro/Yen was slowly, but steadily trending higher for much of the session, gaining a total of point 26%. However, this pair sees less than half the usual amount of funding, and the sentiment is neutral at 11% short. Success is more likely for bulls, but the low volume and narrow rate movement should limit any shifts in funds.
