London Session's Technical Barometer

What this reads: the bigger picture for this session — daily, 4-hour and 1-hour trends with 4-hour and 1-hour momentum, read when this briefing was written. It changes slowly and is not a forecast. Market Pulse reads only the last hour or so, so the two can disagree: a short bounce inside a downtrend can read bullish there and bearish here.

What to watch in the London session

The London session (Europe open · the liquidity hour) · updated 2026-10-05 08:00 UTC.

Good morning, London. The overnight wires stayed firmly in regulatory territory — stablecoin reserve rules, bank charter lawsuits, and fresh crypto framework proposals from Washington to Seoul — so expect headlines rather than data to set the early tone.

The calendar is light but not empty: final services PMIs for the euro area and the UK, Sentix investor confidence, and euro-area PPI, all low-tier. Nothing here typically moves the needle on its own, though a surprise services print can still nudge the open.

On the board, EUR/USD reads bearish clear — D1 down with H4 and H1 mixed, H4 RSI 33.2, and price stretched with the nearest level below far away. GBP/USD leans bearish, sitting right at its nearest level below with 1.7 ATR to the nearest level above. USD/JPY and oil both lean the other way, with USD/JPY wedged between two close levels. Gold leans bearish, closer to the level below than the one above. Crypto is the interesting pair again: Bitcoin is neutral overall — D1 down but H1 up, near the top of its range with structure intact — while Ethereum leans bullish, D1 up against a down H1. Watch whether those crypto reads hold their footing as the session unfolds.
