Les marchés actions restent dans une phase corrective de court terme, avec une volatilité en hausse et des rendements américains élevés. Sur le marché des changes, l’EUR/USD et le GBP/USD conservent néanmoins une structure haussière au-dessus de leurs principales moyennes, mais leur progression est déjà avancée et plusieurs publications européennes et britanniques approchent.

Thesis: Le cours à 1,1693 dépasse le sommet de la veille à 1,16877 et reste au-dessus de toutes les moyennes suivies. Les rendements sur 24 heures et 7 jours sont positifs, tandis que le RSI horaire à 61,92 confirme un élan haussier encore exploitable. L’objectif vise une extension mesurée d’environ deux ATR horaires au-dessus du point d’entrée.
Invalidation: Clôture ou passage au stop sous 1,1677, ce qui replacerait le cours sous la zone de cassure et sous la moyenne à 20 heures, invalidant la poursuite haussière de court terme.

The short thesis remains intact: price at 1.3289 is below the 1.3321 breakdown area and below the 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day moving averages, while negative 24-hour and 7-day returns support continuation toward 1.3270. Hold with the existing 1.3317 protective stop because oversold-rebound risk is already contained.

The short thesis remains intact: price at 1.3292 is below the 1.3321 breakdown area and below the 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day moving averages, while negative 24-hour and 7-day returns favor continuation toward 1.3270. Hold with the existing 1.3317 protective stop because oversold-rebound risk is already tightly contained.

The short thesis remains intact: price at 1.3292 is below the 1.3321 breakdown area and below the 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day moving averages, while negative 24-hour and 7-day momentum supports continuation toward 1.3270. Hold with the existing near-breakeven stop because oversold rebound risk is already appropriately contained.
UPDATEGBPUSD
Price has extended below the 1.3321 breakdown area to 1.3292, but 1-hour RSI is now near 30 and a medium-impact USD speech is due shortly. Raise the stop from 1.3343 to approximately breakeven to protect the profitable short while retaining the 1.3270 downside objective.
HOLDGBPUSD
The short thesis remains intact: price at 1.3304 is below the 1.3321 breakdown area and all cited hourly and daily moving averages, while negative 24-hour and 7-day returns favor continuation toward 1.3270. The existing 1.3343 stop remains appropriate despite oversold-rebound and upcoming USD-event risk.

The short thesis remains intact: price is below the 1.3321 breakdown area and all cited hourly and daily moving averages, with negative 24-hour and 7-day returns. The existing 1.3343 stop and 1.3270 target remain appropriate despite growing oversold-rebound and event risk.

The short thesis remains intact: price has continued below the 1.3321 breakdown area, is below the 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day moving averages, and negative 1-hour and 7-day momentum still favors continuation toward 1.3270. The existing stop at 1.3343 remains appropriate despite the risk of an oversold rebound.

The bearish thesis remains intact: price is below the broken 1.3321 area and below the 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day moving averages, with 1-hour RSI at 39.71 and negative 7-day momentum. The existing stop and target remain appropriate.

Slot 03:00Z, session asiatique. Le champ ouvrable est réduit à deux instruments : seuls EUR/USD et GBP/USD cumulent tradable_in_simulation=true, quality.status=fresh et session.is_open=true. Les quatre indices (CAC, DAX, Nasdaq, S&P) sont fermés et stale ; VIX et 10 ans US sont indicatifs ; or et baril restent non négociables (multiplicateur et politique de roll non figés). Le régime dominant est une faiblesse généralisée du dollar couplée à une érosion des actions. Côté dollar : EUR/USD +1,32% sur 7 jours, GBP/USD +1,09%, or +5,01% à 4595 sur un plus haut de série. L'EUR/USD cote 1,1700, au-dessus de sa SMA20 horaire (1,16886), de sa SMA50 horaire (1,16628), de sa SMA50 journalière (1,16543) et de sa SMA200 journalière (1,15814), avec un plus haut de 1,17041 inscrit sur la dernière heure — soit 115 pips au-dessus du plus haut de la semaine précédente (1,15888). C'est une cassure structurelle installée, pas une mèche. Côté actions, le tableau est nettement risk-off : S&P 500 -0,85% sur 24h et -2,02% sur 7 jours avec RSI horaire à 23, Nasdaq -0,72% et RSI horaire à 30, CAC -0,52% avec RSI horaire à 25, VIX +7,38% à 16,01. Deux éléments contredisent la lecture d'un dollar uniformément vendu et je ne les efface pas : l'USD/JPY monte de 0,33% sur 24h à 158,96, et le 10 ans américain prend 4,3 pb à 4,696%. Des taux longs qui montent avec un dollar qui baisse et un or qui s'envole, c'est une défiance ciblée sur les actifs américains plutôt qu'une simple détente monétaire. Calendrier chargé sur la session européenne : ventes au détail britanniques dans 178 minutes, PMI flash français et allemands dans 253 à 268 minutes, PMI britanniques dans 328 minutes. Aucun blackout actif.

Horizon: Intraday, 6 à 12 heures, sortie au plus tard au slot 15:00Z du 21/08
Thesis: J'achète la continuation d'une cassure installée, pas un pari de retournement. L'EUR/USD cote 1,1700 au-dessus de ses quatre repères simultanément : SMA20 horaire 1,16886, SMA50 horaire 1,16628, SMA50 journalière 1,16543, SMA200 journalière 1,15814. L'empilement est ordonné, ce qui caractérise une tendance et non un range. Le plus haut de la semaine du 10 au 16 août était 1,15888 : le prix est 115 pips au-dessus, la sortie de fourchette est consommée sur plusieurs séances et non sur une mèche. Les douze dernières heures dessinent une base propre entre 1,16727 et 1,16959, puis les trois dernières bougies horaires clôturent en progression à 1,16863, 1,16945 et 1,17000, la dernière inscrivant un plus haut de série à 1,17041. Deux confirmations extérieures à la position, exigées avant d'entrer : l'or gagne 5,01% sur 7 jours à 4595 sur un plus haut de série, et le GBP/USD gagne 1,09% sur 7 jours avec un RSI horaire de 66,17 — trois instruments indépendants racontent la même vente de dollar. Le RSI journalier à 57,89 laisse de la place avant l'extension ; c'est précisément ce qui manquait au fade que j'ai tenté hier dans l'autre sens à 76,83 et qui n'a rien produit en six heures. Je prends la tendance du bon côté cette fois, avec un risque réduit de 52 USD.
Invalidation: Trois conditions distinctes, écrites d'avance et que je traiterai littéralement au prochain slot. Un, stop dur à 1,16740, sous la base des douze dernières heures dont le plancher est 1,16727, à environ 2,9 ATR horaires du prix : touché, je suis dehors sans discussion. Deux, invalidation par la structure avant même le stop : une clôture horaire strictement sous 1,16800 casse la base de la cassure asiatique et me fait solder au slot suivant, même si le stop n'est pas atteint. Trois, invalidation par la thèse, formulée en conjonction volontaire pour ne pas sortir sur le bruit d'un seul instrument : reprise franche du dollar caractérisée par une clôture horaire de l'or sous 4540 ET un USD/JPY au-dessus de 159,60 sur la même heure. Une seule jambe vraie ne suffira pas et je ne la maquillerai pas en invalidation. Contrainte de temps et de performance, contraignante : si à 15:00Z la cible de 1,17450 n'est pas atteinte, je solde au prix du marché quel que soit le résultat — un trade de continuation qui n'a pas produit après toute la session européenne et l'ouverture américaine est un trade raté, et je ne le porterai pas au-delà.

Venue shut until 2026-08-03T13:32Z on an unchanged snapshot (origin timestamp still 2026-07-31T19:30Z): no exit or stop amendment is executable this slot and no new price has formed to justify one. Mark 7489.72 vs entry 7478.38 is +31.78 USD, +0.16R. The premise is intact - price holds above the 1d SMA50 at 7470.45, whose reclaim was the entire reason for the trade. Friday's final four hourly closes (7486.79, 7483.45, 7498.18, 7489.52) never approached my invalidation of two consecutive hourly closes below 7420; the lowest close since entry is 7483.45, some 63 points clear, with the 1h SMA20 (7420.23) and 1h SMA50 (7419.09) intact beneath. VIX 15.99 is below its 50d (17.45) and 200d (18.66), Friday's 18.70 spike repriced within the session rather than carried into the weekend. Negatives stated rather than buried: 10Y 4.745, +8.2bp, 1d RSI 66.78, above the prior week's 4.714 high and 5.5bp from my 4.80 arm; WTI 84.67 pushes the same direction against a long equity book; NDQ 1d RSI 45.54 with price far under its SMA50 (29342.01) says growth is not confirming; USDJPY 157.40 at 1d RSI 29.52 is yen strength that often precedes de-risking. The rates kill condition is joint with VIX above 18.35 by design, and VIX is 2.36 points below that arm and falling, so one leg approaching does not fire it. I again decline to trail toward 7460: the only incremental risk the weekend adds is a gap, which a stop cannot fill through, so tightening buys no protection and merely raises the odds a routine Monday-open wick converts an intact trade into a realised loss. Stop stays 7412, below Friday's 7423.79 and 7421.78 hourly lows and below the 1h SMA50, 2.27x the 1h ATR from spot, 199.13 USD or 0.20% of capital. Target 7575 unchanged, first test the prior week's high at 7525.94. The live decision is Monday's auction with 65 macro events queued from 00:30Z: a gap-down through 7470 not reclaimed within the first hour ends this on reclaim-failure logic regardless of where 7412 sits.

Friday's last four hourly closes (7486.79, 7483.45, 7498.18, 7489.52) never approached my invalidation of two consecutive hourly closes under 7420; the lowest close since entry is 7483.45, some 63 points clear, with the 1h SMA20 (7420.23) and 1h SMA50 (7419.09) intact beneath price. VIX 15.99 sits under its 50d (17.45) and 200d (18.66), Friday's 18.70 spike having been repriced inside the session. The negatives, stated plainly rather than buried: 10Y 4.745 (+8.2bp, 1d RSI 66.78) is above the prior week's 4.714 high and 5.5bp from my 4.80 arm; WTI 84.67 pushes the same direction while I am long equity; NDQ 1d RSI 45.54 below its own SMA50 says growth is not confirming; USDJPY 157.40 at 1d RSI 29.52 is yen strength that can precede de-risking. The kill condition is joint with VIX above 18.35 by design, and VIX is 2.36 points below that arm and falling, so one leg approaching does not fire it. I again decline to trail toward 7460: the only incremental risk the weekend adds is a gap, which a stop cannot fill through, so tightening buys no protection and merely raises the odds a routine Monday-open wick converts an intact trade into a realised loss. Stop stays 7412, below Friday's 7423.79 and 7421.78 hourly lows and below the 1h SMA50, 2.27x the 1h ATR from spot, 0.20% of capital. Target 7575 unchanged, first test the prior week's high at 7525.94. The live decision is the Monday auction: a gap-down through 7470 not reclaimed within the first hour ends this on reclaim-failure logic regardless of where 7412 sits.
