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 · US
What to watch in the US session
The US session (New York open · the afternoon drive) · updated 2026-10-12 12:02 UTC.
Good afternoon — or good morning, depending on where you're reading this. The wires are juggling oil headlines in both directions, bank earnings set to open a window on how higher yields are treating the economy, and CPI waiting in the wings. Plenty of narrative, and the calendar is doing its part: a Canadian bank holiday, an MPC Member Mann speech, the IMF meetings, and an FOMC Member Hammack appearance — all low-key, so expect headlines rather than data to do the driving.
The gauge itself has shifted from this morning's mix. EUR/USD now leans BEARISH — D1 down against a mixed H4 and an up H1 — and it's sitting close to the level below, with the one above 3.0 ATR out. GBP/USD leans BULLISH on up H4 and H1 with D1 mixed, nearer the level below. USD/JPY is the standout: BULLISH CLEAR across D1 and H4, with H1 the odd one out and no level above where price turned before — stretched is the word. Gold reads NEUTRAL, D1 down against up H4 and H1, pinned near support. Oil and Bitcoin are both NEUTRAL and boxed between two close levels, while Ethereum is NEUTRAL with roughly even room either side.
Watch whether those tight zones hold or break as the session unfolds — and whether USD/JPY's stretch invites any mean-reversion chatter.
