London Session Prep — 08:00–12:00 UTC
The dollar carries Friday's payroll punch into London, with hot jobs data fueling Fed hike bets and knocking bitcoin under $80,000. That risk-off pulse is the story to trade against: the yen is the clear beneficiary—USD/JPY's H4 RSI at 26.7 is deeply stretched, yet the downtrend holds, so respect the snap risk. Gold echoes the bearish tone, squeezed between 4385.61 and 4400.42 with a breakout on the table. Oil, by contrast, is the bull outlier, holding its H4 uptrend near the 89.76–90.47 coil.
The calendar is light—Sentix investor confidence, final employment change, and revised GDP for the eurozone, all low-tier. Expect technicals to lead, with thin liquidity amplifying moves.
Watch cable's coil between 1.35141 and 1.35232—whichever side gives first sets the tone. EUR/USD sits 0.2 ATR below resistance at 1.16155, high in its range. Ether shows a divergence warning against its H1 uptrend, so don't chase strength near the 2481.3 ceiling. Keep stops honest and sizes modest.
