The London session (Europe open · the liquidity hour) · updated 2026-09-28 08:00 UTC.
The dollar bid that wouldn't clock out is still on the payroll — EUR/USD (1.14691) and GBP/USD (1.33731) remain pinned low in their ranges, USD/JPY (157.482) still leans bullish, and gold (4342.88) is still boxed between 4333.73 and 4359.91. So today continues the story rather than reverses it: the tilt gauge reads EUR/USD neutral, GBP/USD neutral, USD/JPY bullish-leaning, and gold's higher-timeframe read stays bearish.
The calendar stays light in this window — just MPC Member Ramsden speaking (low-tier, GBP). No other scheduled releases land in this stretch, so the tape itself does the talking.
On the barometer, the stretched pairs are still stretched. EUR/USD sits neutral (H4 RSI 39.4, floor 1.14623 just below), GBP/USD neutral (H4 RSI 40.9), and USD/JPY leaning bullish (H4 RSI 66.2, with H1 bands at their tightest in 120 bars — energy building). Watch whether the dollar bid extends or those pairs finally breathe — and whether Ramsden's remarks give sterling a reason either way.
