[B]Option Traders Price Action On British EU Referendum[/B]
On Jun 23rd 2016 British people have EU referendum to stay or leave European Union.
With remain and leave sides by latest polls being almost equal at around 44%, this is creating huge jump in options implied volatility since financial markets could be shaken a lot in case majority decide to leave EU.
Let’s take a look at a price action of option traders to see where they think price of British Pound or GBP/USD exchange rate could go in next few days and weeks.
[B]Forex spot options price action for GBP/USD[/B]
We can see that At-The-Money or ATM options implied volatility is today around 44% for 1 week pound options.
This would transfer in daily 1 standard deviation moves of around 400 pips either way from current GBP/USD spot price of around 1.4650.
Or to say in more simple way – there’s around 69% probability that this week GBP/USD exchange rate every day make a move up to 1.5050 or down to 1.4250 for a total swing as much as up to 800 pips from high to low.

Quick education on 25 delta risk reversal and it’s use in financial markets and trading binary options
25-delta risk reversals show the difference in volatility, and therefore price, between puts and calls on the most liquid out-of-the-money (OTM) options.
Positive values indicate calls being more expensive than puts (upside protection on the underlying forex spot is relatively more expensive), while negative values indicate puts are more expensive than calls (downside protection is relatively more expensive).
Significant changes can indicate a change in market expectations for the future direction in the underlying market.
In case of CME futures options the underlying market is CME futures market.
In case of forex spot options the underlying market is forex spot rate.

>6,000 Gold $1350 and >1,500 Silver $20 calls for now successfully out of the money for Oct 25th monthly CME futures option expiration.
On Oct 25th 2016 there’s a monthly option expiration at Comex for gold futures option contract OGU6 and silver SOU6.
6,000 gold calls at price of $1,350 are worth $810 million so we can expect option writers to be motivated to keep price of gold below $1,350 on Oct 25th 2016 (and until then).
Week that finished on Aug 19th 2016 had GBP futures Sep 2016 price finishing 1.2% higher (with positive weekly spread change in RR25 in both Sep and Dec 2016 pound futures options seen in this analysis).
Tomorrow new weekly analysis will be posted - original and full analysis with commentary will be posted on our blog already before London Stock Exchange open.

As we highlighted in our table screenshot – crude oil had the most negative 1 week change in risk reversal while futures price finished higher => crude oil Oct 2016 futures price finished the week on Aug 26th 2016 at -3.7% lower.
As we talked for last 2 weeks with gold & silver monthly options expiration day on Oct 25th 2016 both levels - gold’s $1350 and silver’s $20 had too many calls that needed to finish out of the money = nice profit for option writers (once again).
OGU6 (gold) settled price on Oct 25th 2016 was $1321.2 while SOU6 (silver) $18.49
