Pre-positioning for a break of the trend-line and 200MA. If the neckline of the head & shoulders pattern is breached, there's likely to be some bearish price action. Fundamentally, I see all the risks in the Euro vis a vis the Sterling. I think this could be the trade of the year!

I'm undecided as to whether this makes me bearish, however, it certainly does increase one's sense of caution!

... Are looking a little less extreme than they were before Trump's inauguration, whilst the currency represents great value. I'm inclined to take the under on Trump's doomsayers and this trade is the best way to express that view while collecting carry (presuming realised volatility continues to calm).

As the MACD looks to roll over in TY1 and the rise in yields looks to resume, gold is in a bind given the two have a notable inverse correlation!

It's arguably a similar case to the former on wheat... Buying within the lowest decile in a decade, a very asymmetric return distribution, a potential break-out of the down trend.

PrometheusCHT Jan 18, 2017

A rather logical looking interpretation. There's a reasonable degree of support, whilst we're buying in the lowest percentiles of the last decade. Further, the probability of the downtrend being breached looks increasingly likely. Further, the return distribution of commodities is particularly convex or asymmetric with a long right tail. Thus, we can give the...

Rounded bottom in AUDSGD & potential breakout of its historical distribution.

Is inflation starting to feed through to softs!?!

A double bottom to launch from!?!

The positioning situation is a formula for a large unwind if May's speech sufficiently moves the needle on sentiment.

We've witnessed an outsized move on May's speech.
