Affaiblissement marqué du dollar face à l’euro et à la livre, mais mouvements déjà étendus et proches du surachat, surtout sur EURUSD. Les marchés actions sont fermés et leurs données ne sont pas admissibles à une nouvelle ouverture. Aucun point d’entrée actuel n’offre un rapport rendement-risque suffisamment robuste.

HOLDEURUSD
Hold unchanged. Fresh open-session data show EURUSD still above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages, with positive 7-day momentum and constructive hourly and daily RSI. Price remains well above the 1.1492 stop despite a modest move below entry. Upcoming US ISM risk argues against increasing exposure but does not invalidate the existing long.
HOLD^SPX
Hold unchanged. SPX remains above entry, its 7418 stop, and the 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages. Positive 24-hour momentum and the low, falling VIX preserve the bullish thesis. Resistance near 7512-7526, elevated yields, Nasdaq underperformance and reopening-gap risk warrant caution, but the closed session and stale market-closed data provide no defensible basis for a change.
HOLDEURUSD
Hold unchanged. Fresh open-session data show EURUSD above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages, with positive 7-day momentum and constructive hourly and daily RSI. Price remains above entry and the 1.1492 invalidation level. Upcoming US ISM event risk argues against increasing exposure but does not invalidate the existing long.

Hold unchanged. Fresh open-session data show EURUSD above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages, with positive 7-day momentum and constructive hourly and daily RSI. The modest pullback has not broken trend structure, and the 1.1492 stop still defines invalidation. Upcoming US ISM risk argues against increasing exposure but does not justify closing the existing position.
HOLD^SPX
Hold unchanged. SPX remains above entry, the 7418 stop, and its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages, while positive 24-hour momentum and a low, falling VIX preserve the bullish thesis. Nearby resistance, elevated yields, Nasdaq underperformance and upcoming ISM risk warrant caution, but the session is closed and the stale market-closed data do not justify a change.
HOLDEURUSD
Hold unchanged. EURUSD remains above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages with positive 7-day momentum and constructive hourly and daily RSI. The pullback from the Asian-session high has not broken structure, and the 1.1492 stop continues to define invalidation ahead of upcoming USD event risk.

Hold unchanged. Price remains above entry, the 7418 stop, and the 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages. Positive 24-hour momentum and a low, falling VIX preserve the bullish thesis, while the closed session and stale market-closed data provide no defensible basis to update or close.
HOLDEURUSD
Hold unchanged. The small move below entry does not invalidate the setup: EURUSD remains above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages, with positive 7-day momentum and constructive hourly and daily RSI. The 1.1492 stop continues to define thesis failure.
HOLD^SPX
Hold unchanged. SPX remains above entry, its 7418 invalidation, and the 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day and 200-day averages; positive 24-hour momentum and a low, falling VIX continue to support the long thesis. Resistance at 7512-7526, elevated yields, Nasdaq underperformance and upcoming ISM risk warrant caution, but the closed session and stale market-closed data do not justify an update or close.
OPENEURUSD
Open a modest EURUSD long because fresh, open-session data show aligned multi-timeframe trend strength after a controlled pullback. Position size and stop imply limited loss relative to capital, while the target offers favorable reward versus defined risk.

2026-08-20 00:00 UTCSUCCESSConfidence 55%
Journée de dépréciation généralisée du dollar, confirmée par quatre instruments indépendants les uns des autres : or +4,218% sur 24h (mouvement énorme, 4571,8 contre une SMA200 journalière à 4464,6), 10 ans US à 4,653% soit -5,3 pb, USD/JPY -0,809% avec un RSI journalier à 29,21 en rupture franche, EUR/USD +0,853% et GBP/USD +0,476%. Le VIX recule de 6,47% à 14,89, donc ce n'est pas un choc d'aversion au risque : c'est une repricing du dollar et des taux, les actions ne baissant que marginalement (S&P 500 -0,11%, Nasdaq 100 -0,52%). Les indices européens sont en revanche nettement plus faibles sur la semaine (CAC -1,99% sur 7 jours, cinquième séance de repli, RSI 1h à 26,83) mais ils sont fermés et leurs données ont 8 heures de retard : hors champ. Sur le change, l'EUR/USD est le véhicule le plus tendu du mouvement — RSI 1h à 78,72 et RSI journalier à 76,83, environ 109 pips parcourus depuis 1,1577 soit près de deux ATR journaliers (0,00557) — et il consolide depuis cinq heures dans une fourchette de 10 pips au contact de ses plus hauts, sans rendre un pip. Le GBP/USD raconte la même histoire avec un retard : cassure nette de son plus haut hebdomadaire (1,35615), pointe à 1,36294, repli contenu à 1,35908, puis stabilisation au-dessus de sa SMA20 horaire (1,35842), avec un RSI horaire à 61,93 seulement. Session asiatique, liquidité fine, aucun événement macro avant 12:30Z.

Horizon: Intraday, gestion slot par slot, sortie au plus tard vers 16:00Z le 20/08
Thesis: Je joue la continuation de la faiblesse du dollar sur le seul instrument éligible dont l'entrée n'est pas située à l'extrême du mouvement. Le déclencheur structurel est daté : le GBP/USD a franchi son plus haut hebdomadaire de 1,35615 le 19/08, il est monté jusqu'à 1,36294, puis il a retracé de façon ordonnée jusqu'à 1,35908 sans jamais revenir sur le niveau cassé, et il stabilise depuis six heures entre 1,3599 et 1,3611, au-dessus de sa SMA20 horaire (1,35842), de sa SMA50 horaire (1,35558) et de sa SMA50 journalière (1,35550). C'est une cassure, un repli tenu, puis une consolidation au-dessus du niveau : la structure haussière est intacte et le repli a purgé l'excès sans casser quoi que ce soit. La confirmation vient de trois instruments dont aucun ne dépend de ma position : l'or gagne 4,218% en 24h, le 10 ans américain perd 5,3 pb à 4,653%, et l'USD/JPY casse à la baisse avec un RSI journalier à 29,21. Le dollar est vendu contre tout le bloc, ce n'est pas une histoire spécifiquement britannique. Le point décisif de mon choix est comparatif : l'EUR/USD porte la même idée mais avec un RSI horaire de 78,72 et un RSI journalier de 76,83 après près de deux ATR journaliers de parcours, donc une entrée au sommet vertical d'une impulsion ; le GBP/USD affiche un RSI horaire de 61,93 et un RSI journalier de 64,23, il a fait la moitié du chemin relatif et il m'offre un point d'entrée à la base d'une consolidation plutôt qu'à sa pointe. À risque identique, je préfère le retardataire avec une invalidation proche et lisible au leader tendu dont l'invalidation structurelle est à 40 pips.
Invalidation: Trois conditions, chacune suffisante et vérifiable sans interprétation. Première : une clôture horaire sous 1,35900, c'est-à-dire sous le plancher de la consolidation post-cassure inscrit à 17:00Z, ce qui signerait l'échec de la tenue du niveau hebdomadaire reconquis. Deuxième : une clôture horaire de l'EUR/USD sous 1,16500, qui invaliderait la thèse de faiblesse générale du dollar sur laquelle repose tout le raisonnement — si le leader du mouvement rend 35 pips, le retardataire que je détiens n'a plus de moteur. Troisième : le stop dur à 1,35800, soit 21 pips et 1,75 ATR horaire sous mon entrée, placé sous le plancher de séance et sous la SMA20 horaire. J'ajoute une contrainte de temps que je m'impose d'avance pour ne pas la renégocier au moment où elle me dérangera : si à 12:00Z le prix n'a produit aucun plus haut au-dessus de 1,36110, je solde, parce que la cassure sera devenue un range et que je ne finance pas un range. Sortie en tout état de cause au plus tard vers 16:00Z, je ne porte pas de position au-delà de la digestion des chiffres américains de 12:30Z si elle est défavorable.

Venue shut until 2026-08-03T13:32Z on a snapshot identical to every prior review this weekend, so neither an exit nor a stop amendment is executable, and no new price has been formed to justify one. Mark 7489.72 vs entry 7478.38 is +31.78 USD, +0.16R. The entry premise is intact: price still 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 sits below its 50d (17.45) and 200d (18.66), Friday's 18.70 spike having been repriced within the session rather than carried into the weekend. The negatives, stated rather than buried: 10Y 4.745, +8.2bp, 1d RSI 66.78, now 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 below its own SMA50 says growth is not confirming; USDJPY 157.40 at 1d RSI 29.52 is yen strength that often precedes de-risking. My 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 decline again 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 genuine test the prior week's high at 7525.94. The live decision is Monday's auction: a gap-down through 7470 that is not reclaimed within the first hour ends this on reclaim-failure logic regardless of where 7412 sits.

VIX 15.99 is under its 50d (17.45) and 200d (18.66) and Friday's 18.70 spike was repriced inside the session. I restate the negatives rather than bury them: 10Y 4.745 (+8.2bp, 1d RSI 66.78) is above the prior week's 4.714 high and 5.5bp from the 4.80 arm, WTI 84.67 pushes the same way while I hold long equity, NDQ's 1d RSI of 45.54 below its own SMA50 says growth is not confirming, and USDJPY 157.40 at 1d RSI 29.52 is the kind of yen strength that can precede equity 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 nearing does not force an exit — and with the market closed none of it is actionable anyway. I decline again 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 genuine 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.

Market closed until 2026-08-03T13:32Z, so no close or stop amendment is executable this slot, and the frozen tape does not ask for one. Mark 7489.72 vs entry 7478.38 is +31.78 USD, +0.16R, and the thesis condition still holds: price is above the 1d SMA50 at 7470.45 whose reclaim was the entire premise. 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, and the 1h SMA20 (7420.23) and 1h SMA50 (7419.09) are both intact beneath price. VIX 15.99 is under its 50d and 200d and Friday's 18.70 spike was repriced within the session rather than carried into the weekend. I restate the negatives rather than bury them: 10Y 4.745 (+8.2bp, 1d RSI 66.78) is above the prior week's 4.714 high and 5.5bp from the 4.80 arm, WTI 84.67 pushes the same way while I hold long equity, NDQ 1d RSI 45.54 below its own SMA50 says growth is not confirming, and USDJPY 157.40 at 1d RSI 29.52 is the kind of yen strength that can precede equity de-risking.

I decline again 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 realises a loss on an intact trade. 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.

Twentieth review of an unchanged weekend snapshot (SPX 7489.72, VIX 15.99, 10Y 4.745, all feeds stale_market_closed). US cash reopens 2026-08-03T13:32Z, so no close or stop amendment is executable this slot, and nothing in the tape asks for one. Mark 7489.72 vs entry 7478.38 is +31.78 USD, +0.16R, still above the 1d SMA50 at 7470.45 whose reclaim is the entire premise. Friday's final four hourly closes were 7486.79, 7483.45, 7498.18, 7489.52; the lowest close since entry is 7483.45, some 63 points clear of my invalidation of two consecutive hourly closes under 7420 (1h SMA20 7420.23, 1h SMA50 7419.09). VIX 15.99 sits under its 50d (17.45) and 200d (18.66) and Friday's 18.70 spike was repriced intraday, leaving the volatility half of my joint kill condition 2.36 points away and moving away. The rates half is the closer one and I restate it rather than bury it: 10Y 4.745, +8.2bp, 1d RSI 66.78, above the prior week's 4.714 high and 5.5bp from the 4.80 arm, with WTI 84.67 pushing the same direction while I hold long equity. That arm is joint with VIX above 18.35 by design; one leg alone does not fire it. Two negatives carried knowingly: NDQ 1d RSI 45.54 well below its own SMA50 says growth is not confirming, and USDJPY 157.40 with 1d RSI 29.52 is the kind of yen strength that can precede equity de-risking. Neither is actionable with the venue shut. 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 an ordinary Monday-open wick converts an intact trade into a realised loss. Stop stays 7412, below Friday's 7423.79 and 7421.78 hourly lows, 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.
