Asia Session's Technical Barometer

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.

What to watch in the Asia session

The Asian session (Sydney · Australia · Tokyo · China · Singapore) · updated 2026-10-08 21:02 UTC.

Good evening.

Asia's calendar is quiet — just three low-tier prints: Japanese Household Spending and Prelim Machine Tool Orders, plus Switzerland's SECO Consumer Climate. Nothing here tends to move the needle much, so the technicals get the floor.

On the cards, EUR/USD has softened to bearish leaning — D1 down, but H4 and H1 mixed, with H1 RSI at 55.2 and price stretched, the nearest level below far away. GBP/USD stays bearish clear across D1 and H4, sitting right at its nearest level below with 1.3 ATR of room above. USD/JPY reads neutral across all three timeframes, closer to support than resistance, so a break either way is the watch. Bitcoin is bearish clear on D1, H4 and H1, H4 RSI at 31.1, and closer to the level below; Ethereum leans bearish with D1 up but H4 and H1 down, resting right at support. Gold and oil are both in their session break, live reads paused.
