Vols Still Suggestive Of Upside In Pound
EURUSD
Euro implieds rose on the week carrying the spread higher off of the lower barrier according to our model. Additionally, feeding implied upside was a precipitous drop in the actual volatilities component. Over the course of the week, actuals dropped the second most of all the widely traded majors, pushing the short term measurement far below the implied counters. The resultant spread keeps the rangebound suggestions sustained after the week’s slight pickup on increased demand of the Euro denomination as the differential rises above the upper barrier. This currently coincides with a test of the 1.2670 resistance top for the session. Should the ceiling be pierced to the upside, expect vols to advance further, reaching extreme levels at a positive three differential. Range bound suggestions would persist should the test fail, pushing vols lower.
