2025 Market Outlook: Key January Events to Watch 
European central bank is lined up for monetary policy meeting this week, following the ECB’s surprisingly dovish message last week, signaling no hikes in 2019, we see significantly less upside for EURJPY this year, EURJPY could probably show slumps further in the intermediate-term amid the minor upswings in the short-term, and we see a possibility of the cross falling towards 122.
Risk reversals Substantiate Skews (EURJPY): We could see the existing bearish neutral risk reversal set-up of euro crosses (especially EURJPY and EURUSD) that indicates the long-term hedging sentiments across all tenors are still substantiating bearish risks amid minor abrupt upswings in the short-term. Please be noted that 3m IVs are overall OTC barometer is a noteworthy size in the forex options market that can stimulate the underlying forex spot rate.
Hedging skewness (EURJPY): Most importantly, to substantiate the above indications, please be noted that the positively skewed IVs of 3m tenors that are also signifying the hedging interests for the bearish risks. The bids for OTM puts of these tenors expect that the underlying spot FX likely to break below 121.00 levels so that OTM instruments would expire in-the-money.
Options Trade Recommendation (EURJPY): We’ve advocated buying 3m EURJPY (1%) ITM -0.69 delta puts for aggressive bears on hedging grounds as the mild abrupt upswings were contemplated earlier. If expiry is not near, delta movement wouldn’t be 1-point increase with 1 pip in the underlying spot FX. Which means if the spot FX moves 1 pip, depending on the strike price of the option, the option would also move less than 1. Thereby, in the money put option with a very strong delta will move in tandem with the underlying. Source: Sentrix and Saxobank
