For EUR/USD, the concentration of expiries around the 1.1780 and 1.1800 levels, along with the larger expiry at 1.1910-15, suggests a critical zone to watch for potential volatility. Similarly, in USD/JPY, the large expiry at 156.00 indicates a possible pivot point that traders may react to as positions are unwound or adjusted during the session.
