London 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.

SESSION PREP · LONDON

What to watch in the London session

The London session (Europe open · the liquidity hour) · updated 2026-10-08 08:02 UTC.

Good morning. Asian shares are lower as rising bond yields and surging oil prices do the pushing, while the crypto news wire stays busy — Samsung Wallet bringing USDC to 82 million US phones, and the CFTC pressing ahead with federal crypto rulemaking.

London's calendar leans on speakers rather than data: FOMC Member Waller is the medium-tier headliner, with MPC Members Pill and Greene, SNB's Martin, the BOE Credit Conditions Survey, Eurogroup meetings and the ECB meeting accounts filling out the low-tier slots.

On the cards, the dollar pairs still tilt lower — EUR/USD reads bearish clear, GBP/USD bearish leaning, both with H4 RSI in the high 30s — while USD/JPY leans bullish and sits between two close levels, so a break either way is the thing to watch. Oil is the standout: bullish clear, though H1 RSI at 72.7 suggests it's running warm, and its nearest level above is only 0.4 ATR away. Gold leans bearish, Bitcoin reads bearish clear across all three timeframes with H4 RSI at 32.3, and Ethereum is neutral, tucked just under its nearest level above.
