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 2026-10-12 08:02 UTC.

Good morning, London. The wires are a mixed bag again — oil slipping as ceasefire talk does the rounds, Asian equities mixed, and the stablecoin regulation saga rolling on through France's tax plans and ESMA's non-MiCA deadline. Plenty of noise, not much of it directional.

The calendar is light: an MPC Member Breeden speech on the GBP side, and a US bank holiday. So expect a quieter, headline-driven session rather than a data-driven one.

That leaves the gauge as the thing to watch, and this morning it's genuinely mixed. EUR/USD reads NEUTRAL — D1 down against an up H4 and H1 — sitting right at the nearest level below with 1.6 ATR to the one above. GBP/USD leans BULLISH on up H4 and H1 with D1 mixed, closer to the level above. USD/JPY also leans BULLISH — D1 up, H4 mixed, H1 down — near the top of its recent range. Gold leans BEARISH, pinned right at the nearest level above. Oil leans BEARISH with all three timeframes mixed. Bitcoin is NEUTRAL, D1 down against an up H4, wedged between two close levels; Ethereum NEUTRAL too, nearer the level above. Watch whether those tight zones hold or break.
