JPY shorts are back grinding higher but it’s the Aussie that’s playing the ignorance game.
The positioning turned long back in mid-June with the price around 0.7600. Early longs caught a nice rally up to 0.81 but they’ve been slow to bail, and AUDUSD has completed the round trip, and fallen under those June levels. That’s potentially putting all those longs under water and still they’re buying. The aussie has been held off by the barrier option at 0.7500 but the bounces are virtually non-existant. We could have a situation where a break might cause those longs to be squeezed.
