***July 13*** Time for another rally on the USD? *** PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS =>

General Notes:

Welcome to a brand new week traders! I did a full analysis of the latest CFTC COT Report for you and you can find it down below! I will be doing a lot of focusing on my trade plan this week and Forex testing my strategy. I encourage you to do the same. Practice makes a winning trader and that's pretty much about it. You can have it all if you trade like the institutions do. Money, freedom, the ability to travel anywhere at any time, nice homes and fast cars. All it takes is dedication and hard work!  Don't you just love trading? You can be anywhere in the world and still be able to make $$$, but only if you trade alongside the institutions with Supply & Demand!

Market Movers:

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

$USD OVERVIEW (THE BIG PICTURE)
Commitment Of Traders Report: Institutional traders are VERY LONG biased. Perception of Monetary Standing: HAWKISH 

$USD OVERVIEW (DAILY)

US DOLLAR => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are LONG biased.

Perception of Monetary Standing: HAWKISH
Notes: The hedge funds added to their long positions and increased their exposure to 93%, up from 88% last week. Although not much has changed with the Euro, maybe this increase is a inside look at what might play out with the Euro this week. Net change last week was a positive 17k as we saw price react from the Daily bullish engulfing. Definately seeing the pressure to the upside continue with the USD now.

AUDUSD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: NUETRAL
Notes: The commercials increased their long positions from 48k to 64k favouring a drop on the Aussie. The Hedge Funds increased their shorts as well from 121k to 132k and with WK inherited Demand @ 0.7250's, there's no reason why a drop can't continue in the coming weeks.

USDCAD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are LONG biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: NUETRAL
Notes: Hedge funds added to their longs from 46k to 68k while the commercials increased their shorts from 44k to 63k bringing the totla differnce to positive 79k. Thats a massive move to the long side for the Loonie as we saw price create an up-trend on the WK chart. MN supply is tested and might have absorbed all the sell orders at that level, a contiuation of the trend is a high probability with these numbers. Only thing is that that total long exposure of the Hedge Funds is 65%, we would like to see this number in the 70's or even the 80's for even more support. The increase in the USD will help this rally for sure.

USDCHF => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: DOVISH
Notes: A slight increase in the longs by the big guys last week, nothing drastic. The short exposure sits at 75% now which is a small decrease from the 78% the previous week. Price is sitting at tested WK Supply so it'll be interesting to see how things play out.

EURUSD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: VERY DOVISH
Notes: The Euro once again sits at the same spot as the last few weeks. No big changes to speak of as we have watched the EURUSD do pretty much nothing. As mentioned above, since we see strength coming into the USD this can be an indication of a Euro drop to come. So let's stay posetd closely on this pair and we just may see a continuation of the down trend even thought some "positive" Greece news has since been released.

GBPUSD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: NUETRAL => HAWKISH
Notes: Hedge Funds decreased their longs from 53k to 39k and their shorts from 66k to 62k with net changes being -22k favouring the downside. Although price has bounced off of a WK DZ with TL confluence, MN 20 EMA might be acting as a road block with a positive USD helping out with a drop in the coming weeks. Just saying!

USDJPY => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are LONG biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: VERY DOVISH
Notes: After the profit taking we noticed two weeks ago, last week was no exception with long positions dropping from 124k to 109k. Total long exposure also dropped from 73% to 70%. Still long bias especially after hitting the WK DZ and WK ascending TL. Most likely we'll see the Hedge Funds added to their long positions on this coming Fridays report.

NZDUSD => COT REPORT: Institutional traders are SHORT biased.
Perception of Monetary Standing: DOVISH
Notes: Long positions decreased from 16k to 14k, with the commercials overall long exposure being 91% the bias still remains to the short side.

So what do we have here, the Hedge Funds are driving the USD back up towards their highs, increasing their long exposure in the process, while keeping the EURUSD at a standstill until possibly some Euro data on Thursday? Well as mentioned, is the USD positioning is any indication, I think we may see more downside than up on the EURUSD in the coming weeks. I'll be keeping a close on eye the charts to see the reactions from the Supply and Demand zones. The USDCAD, USDCHF and USDJPY are sure to enjoy the momentum picking up on the USD with continued upside pressure coming into this week. Lets watch and see if this continues into next week for some great trading opportunities!
