The full list can be seen below.As mentioned last week, start of the year positioning flows will matter more when looking at price action for major currencies. But so far today, the dollar is holding firmer with geopolitical tensions in play. On the week itself, don’t forget that we will have the first US non-farm payrolls data release to deal with too. So, that will be a big one to watch as we ease into the new year.For now, the expiries board is a little bit on the thinner side. As such, don’t expect too much impact with the larger ones today being quite far away from the prevailing spot price.

💡 DMK Insight
The first trading week of the year is crucial for positioning flows, and here’s why: With no major expiries today, traders should focus on how the market reacts to early-year sentiment. Historically, the first week can set the tone for the month, especially as institutions begin reallocating assets. Look for shifts in volume and volatility as traders adjust their positions. If you see increased buying or selling pressure, it could indicate broader trends for the upcoming weeks. Keep an eye on correlated markets, like equities, as they often influence crypto and forex movements. A strong performance in stocks could lead to bullish sentiment across the board, while weakness might trigger risk-off behavior. Watch for key technical levels in major pairs and crypto assets; they could provide insights into market direction. For instance, if Bitcoin breaks above a certain resistance level, it might attract more buyers, while a failure to hold support could lead to a sell-off. The real story is how traders position themselves now—those flows could dictate market dynamics for the rest of January.
📮 Takeaway
Monitor early-year positioning flows closely; they could set the tone for market trends in January, especially in correlated assets like equities.
