US Session Prep — 12:00–21:00 UTC
The tape wakes up in the same mood London handed over: oil still grinding higher (last read $99.24, D1 RSI 71.8), the CLARITY Act heading for a make-or-break Senate vote tomorrow, and the AI-trade wobble doing its best to pull the rug on equities. Gold (-0.84% over eight hours) and Bitcoin (+0.32%) are both drifting their own way again, so the risk complex remains a work in progress.
Today's calendar is Canada's show — CPI m/m, Median, Trimmed (all High-tier) plus Common CPI — with ECB President Lagarde speaking (Medium) and a pair of Low-tier prints (CAD Manufacturing Sales, GBP CB Leading Index) filling the gaps.
On the barometer, oil stays bullish-clear (D1/H4 up, H1 mixed, H4 RSI 65.4) but is flagged extended with an RSI divergence warning and 99.70 resistance just 0.5 ATR away — mind the air. Gold is bearish-clear on D1/H4/H1 (H4 RSI 35.1), sitting between 4277.45 and 4327.38 with room both ways. EUR/USD leans bearish-clear (H4 RSI 27.9, H1 30.5) perched 0.5 ATR above 1.15439 support. USD/JPY is the neutral one — D1 down, H1 up, H1 RSI 66.7, holding 154.42 with 7.1 ATR of headroom. GBP/USD is boxed between 1.34866 and 1.35021, breakout pending. Keep sizes modest through the CAD data.
