The tape opens much as London left it — and that story continues, not reverses. Washington’s crypto-regulation push is still the headline: the White House says a deal is near, and the SEC has proposed its first major crypto rule, while Gulf bourses hold firmer on oil’s Iran-sanction bid. Stock futures slipped on U.S.-Canada trade-war jitters, but the dominant theme remains regulatory momentum, not macro fear.
Scheduled in this window: Canada’s Corporate Profits (low) and Treasury Secretary Bessent speaking (medium). With the calendar this light, Bessent’s tone carries the official-event weight; expect crypto headlines to keep feeding the tape between the lines.
The barometer tilts bullish but is catching its breath. Gold (4,653.53) remains in a clean uptrend with no tested ceiling above, though H4 RSI at 77.6 says warm. BTC (78,137.4) and ETH (2,490.4) have blue-sky room overhead, supported respectively at 77,652.6 and 2,433.8 — watch whether dip-buyers hold those. Oil (84.94) is the odd one out: D1 up, but H1 EMA is below the 50 and RSI divergence warns — a break of 85.72 refreshes the Iran bid, a loss of 84.48 cools it. EUR/USD sits between 1.15840 and 1.16873 with soft H1 momentum. With a calendar this quiet, the charts resume as the main character.
