What to watch in the US session

The US session (New York open · the afternoon drive) · updated 2026-08-21 12:01 UTC.

US Session Prep — 12:00–21:00 UTC

Bitcoin’s rally has kicked on toward $78k on U.S. regulatory hopes, while the bond market keeps sulking after the Treasury-Fed spat — a backdrop that carries straight over from London. The euro and pound came out of the European PMIs looking perky, so the big question is whether the U.S. flash PMIs give the dollar a similar lift or let the bullish tilt on EUR/USD and GBP/USD stand.

The session window itself is light: U.S. flash manufacturing and services PMIs, Canadian retail sales, and Eurozone consumer confidence — all low-impact. No headline-grabbing prints expected, so the charts get the stage.

The technical barometer continues the London story: EUR/USD and GBP/USD bullish, USD/JPY bearish, gold bullish, oil neutral-leaning-up, and both bitcoin and ethereum solidly bullish. The twist? Crypto momentum has re-accelerated — that "soft" London read is gone — but the overbought heat is real: bitcoin’s H4 RSI sits at 94 and ether’s at 93. Not a call, just a "handle with care" sticker. Watch whether the U.S. PMIs echo the London data’s message, and keep half an eye on oil headlines — calm technicals, tense news.
