These levels include both calls and puts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;font-stretch: inherit;font-size: 16px;line-height: 22px;font-size-adjust: inherit;vertical-align: baseline;border: 0;margin: 0 0 20px;padding: 0;font-family: Inter, InterFallback, serif;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0;text-transform: none;word-spacing: 0;white-space: normal\">When you see &#8220;EUR\/USD at 1.1600 for \u20ac4 billion&#8221; it means there is a total of \u20ac4 billion worth of options (calls + puts combined) that have a strike price of 1.1600 and are expiring at that specific time (the &#8220;New York Cut&#8221; at 10:00 AM ET).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;font-stretch: inherit;font-size: 16px;line-height: 22px;font-size-adjust: inherit;vertical-align: baseline;border: 0;margin: 0 0 20px;padding: 0;font-family: Inter, InterFallback, serif;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0;text-transform: none;word-spacing: 0;white-space: normal\">Traders watch these levels because they often act as a &#8220;magnet&#8221; for the price. For example, if there&#8217;s nothing happening in the market and the price is close to the expiry level, let&#8217;s say 30-50 pips away, what you will usually see is the price moving into the expiry level. This happens due to the hedging activity of the market makers (banks, dealers and so on).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;font-stretch: inherit;font-size: 16px;line-height: 22px;font-size-adjust: inherit;vertical-align: baseline;border: 0;margin: 0 0 20px;padding: 0;font-family: Inter, InterFallback, serif;letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0;text-transform: none;word-spacing: 0;white-space: normal\">As the price gets closer to the strike price near expiration, these market makers must aggressively buy or sell the currency to hedge their risk. This hedging activity tends to suppress volatility and keep the price &#8220;pinned&#8221; close to the strike price until the expiration time passes.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Giuseppe Dellamotta at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EUR\/USD 1.1300 (EUR 1.80 bn) 1.1190 (EUR 1.71 bn) 1.1100 (EUR 1.41 bn) USD\/JPY 159.50 (US$ 770.00 mn) 157.00 (US$ 1.09 bn) GBP\/USD 1.3400 (GBP 750.97 mn) USD\/CHF 0.8300 (US$ 300.00 mn)&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-441764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441764\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
