The London session (Europe open · the liquidity hour) · updated 2026-09-24 08:00 UTC.
Good morning. The dollar bid that clocked in Friday is still on shift — EUR/USD (1.14691) and GBP/USD (1.33731) remain pinned low in their ranges, USD/JPY (157.482) leans bullish, and gold (4342.88) is still boxed between 4333.73 and 4359.91. The story hasn't flipped: the tilt gauge reads EUR/USD neutral, GBP/USD neutral, USD/JPY bullish-leaning, and gold's higher-timeframe read stays bearish.
The calendar earns its keep again. The SNB's press conference and policy rate land in this window — the high-tier item — alongside the ECB Economic Bulletin, German ifo Business Climate, and a scattering of low-tier speakers (Williams, Dhingra) and CBI Realized Sales. Japan remains out for the bank holiday, so yen liquidity stays thin; worth remembering if USD/JPY makes a run at anything.
On the barometer, the stretched pairs are still stretched. EUR/USD sits neutral (H4 RSI 39.4, floor 1.14623 just below, resistance 11.9 ATR away), GBP/USD neutral (H4 RSI 40.9, resistance 15.8 ATR away), and USD/JPY leaning bullish (H4 RSI 66.2). Watch whether the dollar bid extends or those pairs finally breathe — and whether the SNB gives it a reason either way.
