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.

SESSION PREP · LONDON

What to watch in the London session

The London session (Europe open · the liquidity hour) · updated 2026-10-09 08:02 UTC.

Good morning. Asia came in mixed with crude slipping back after Wall Street's unsettled session, while the stablecoin news cycle keeps rolling — Samsung's wallet rollout, France's tax push, and ESMA's non-MiCA deadline all in the mix.

London's own calendar is light: Italian Industrial Production and the ECOFIN Meetings, both low-tier. Nothing here to override the overnight mood, so expect the session to trade on positioning rather than fresh data.

On the gauge, the dollar pairs have gone quiet. EUR/USD reads NEUTRAL — D1 down but H4 and H1 up — sitting closer to support 1.9 ATR below than resistance 3.9 ATR above. GBP/USD is also NEUTRAL, D1 down with H4 mixed and H1 up, and notably closer to the level above (0.5 ATR) than below (2.4 ATR). USD/JPY is NEUTRAL too, D1 up against H4 and H1 down, likewise nearer the level above. Gold is NEUTRAL with both levels within 1 ATR — a move out of that zone could go either way. Oil is the odd one out, BULLISH LEANING on D1 and H4 with H1 down. Bitcoin stays BEARISH CLEAR across D1 and H4 with H1 mixed, roughly even room either side; ethereum is NEUTRAL, closer to the level below.

Watch how those nearby levels hold as London takes over.
