Forex Options Expiring Today

Today brings several key FX option expiries that could influence price action, particularly if the market trades near these levels. Here’s what we’re watching:

EUR/USD

For this pair, we’re seeing significant interest around the 1.1600 level, where options worth €2.64 billion are set to expire — this is the most important level of the day. Following that, we have:

• 1.1550 – EUR 1.69 billion
• 1.1800 – EUR 1.27 billion

These levels may act as a sort of magnet for the price, especially in the hours leading up to the expiration.

USD/JPY

For the dollar-yen pair, the focus is on:

• 146.00 – US$ 2.36 billion
• 147.00 – US$ 1.12 billion
• 144.45 – US$ 766 million

The expiries here are also significant, particularly around the 146.00 level, which could act as support or resistance in the short term.

AUD/USD

The Australian dollar has well-distributed options between the following levels:

• 0.6400 – AUD 1.12 billion
• 0.6500 – AUD 1.09 billion
• 0.6600 – AUD 1.02 billion

Although there is no dominant level, this cluster may limit price movement within a short-term range.
