SUPPLY & DEMAND ZONES
Take note of the GREEN demand zones and RED supply zones mapped out below. These are the areas of interest for me because this is where there is a great deal of demand to fill buy orders and supply to fill sell orders from the institutions. SHADED GREEN ZONES = Strong Buy Zones
SHADED RED ZONES = Strong Sell Zones
Commitment Of Traders Report: Institutional traders are VERY LONG biased. Perception of Monetary Standing: HAWKISH
--> $USD is hitting weekly demand so might see a bounce up before a move back down.
US DOLLAR => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are LONG biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: HAWKISH
Notes: The hedge funds reduced both longs and shorts last week with a slight favour towards the short side.
AUDUSD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: NUETRAL
Notes: Both positions have been reduced on this pair, bringing total exposure from 134k to 121k, bias is still to the short side.
USDCAD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are LONG biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: NUETRAL
Notes: Hedge funds added to their longs and reduced their shorts, slightly bullish.
USDCHF => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: DOVISH
Notes: This pairs only real changes came from the commercials again with another decrease in their short exposure from 4,096 contracts short to 590. Otherwise, bias is still to the short side.
EURUSD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: VERY DOVISH
Notes: Shorts and longs were reduced this time by the Hedge Funds. Total exposure dropping down to 235.040 contracts. Shorts are still in favour with this report, increasing another 10k short from previous week.
GBPUSD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: NUETRAL => HAWKISH
Notes: Positions are increasing on both the long and short side by the institutions.Still favouring the short side with net changes at 37k to the short side.
USDJPY => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are LONG biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: VERY DOVISH
Notes: Positions being reduced on this pair as well from net positions of 210k to 165k this past week. Long side still being the bias.
NZDUSD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: DOVISH
Notes: Not much happening here with the Kiwi. Short positions slightly increased and bias continues to be to the downside.
Overall, not much has changed from the previous report, I suspect once the Greek situation if sorted out we'll see more movement with the positions, but until then we should be careful with the Euro pairs until more certainty comes into the picture.
