Asia Session Prep — 21:00–08:00 UTC
The US session closed with the risk-off tone firmly intact — oil held above $100 as Middle East tensions escalated, Wall Street slid, and inflation fears took center stage ahead of key US data. Gold slipped from its earlier bounce near 4,405 to trade around 4,399.74, while Bitcoin and Ethereum both drifted lower, with ETH down roughly 1.7% over the last eight hours.
The calendar is light for Asia — RICS House Price Balance, Australian MI Inflation Expectations, a speech from President Trump, and Germany's final CPI. With little data to anchor price, technicals and headline flow should lead again. Oil remains the standout: the bullish trend is clear across all timeframes, but price is stretched with no tested ceiling above — a pause toward 90.77 support would be healthy, not bearish. Gold's bearish tilt is also clear, squeezed between 4,395.18 support and 4,417.78 resistance, with a breakout on the table, direction unknown. Crypto majors show soft momentum on the H1, with BTC testing 77,641.8 support.
As the session unfolds, keep one eye on headlines — any de-escalation could unwind the oil bid quickly, and that would ripple through gold and the yen crosses alike. The technical barometer leans bearish on gold and USD/JPY, bullish on oil, and neutral on the euro and majors. Otherwise, let the levels do the talking.
