Euro momentum remains positive with a firm uptrend, and the flash PMIs could add a little bounce if they surprise.
GBP/USDBull tilt
Bull 66 · Bear 34
Sterling is holding a solid uptrend and the medium-tier PMI releases give cable a bit more room to run.
USD/JPYBear tilt
Bull 35 · Bear 65
The yen is strengthening with a clear downtrend on the dollar, and there are no events in the session to slow it down.
GoldNeutral
Bull 58 · Bear 42
Gold's uptrend is intact but the overbought reading suggests the run may be getting stretched.
OilBear tilt
Bull 38 · Bear 62
Oil is still below its main trendline, and the latest dip keeps the technical picture tilted lower.
BitcoinBull tilt
Bull 78 · Bear 22
Bitcoin is flying off a huge rally and short-squeeze headlines, though the momentum gauge is still soft.
EthereumNeutral
Bull 42 · Bear 58
Ethereum shows a slight bounce but remains in a downtrend, leaving the overall technical lean cautious.

SESSION PREP · LONDON
What to watch in the London session
The London session (Europe open · the liquidity hour) · updated 2026-08-21 09:40 UTC.
London Session Prep — 08:00–12:00 UTC
Bitcoin’s crown sits firm again — prices topped $75,000 intraday on CLARITY Act optimism — while bond yields stay grumpy after Bessent’s tussle with the Fed, and Asian equities drift without a clear hand on the wheel.
The London window brings the first flash PMI readings from the eurozone and the UK: a low-to-medium impact pulse check on private-sector activity. For the euro, an upside surprise could add a spring to an already firmer step; for the pound, the data gives cable a little more room to run.
The technical barometer has clearly rotated since yesterday’s prep. EUR/USD and GBP/USD now tilt bullish — a reversal from the earlier cautious stance — while USD/JPY has flipped bearish as the yen keeps strengthening. Gold’s uptrend remains intact but looks a little stretched; oil is still tilted lower; and bitcoin stays bullish, though momentum is soft. Watch whether the PMIs validate the new bias on euro and sterling, and whether crypto headlines can keep the bid warm while the bond market continues to sulk. Quiet data, but the chart story has turned.
