Convexity Doesn’t Care: Pinned, Suppressed, Released.This is antifragile flow in action.
Fri: DRB signal fires, but spot runs headfirst into a gamma wall. Dealers long gamma = suppression, absorption, fakeout.
Mon: OPEX clears. Pin decays. Market resets. Neutral, no follow-through yet.
Tue: Vomma/Vanna flows finally kick. No pin left to absorb → convex release to target.
The point? Breakouts aren’t wrong, they’re delayed.
Gamma pins are temporary. Vol releases are structural.
Learn to wait for expiry, not fight it.

EURJPY trend reversalDespite being undervalued based on PPP, the Japanese Yen has been depreciating for a few weeks due (probably) to a risk-on environment making the Yen as a safe-haven less attractive.
Being still undervalued, the Yen might be a cheap hedge against market downturns. Moreover, it seems to have reversed its downward trend and an appreciation against the Euro is now the base scenario for the coming weeks or months.
