US 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 US session

The US session (New York open · the afternoon drive) · updated 2026-10-08 12:02 UTC.

Good afternoon. Higher yields are pressing on stocks, Brent has jumped over 4% on Middle East tensions, and the crypto wires are busy with Samsung Wallet's USDC rollout, ESMA's stablecoin deadline, and the CFTC's rulemaking push.

This session's calendar has a clear headliner: BOE Gov Bailey speaks, with MPC Member Lombardelli also on the slate. From the US side, Unemployment Claims carry the medium-tier weight, alongside Final Wholesale Inventories, Natural Gas Storage, a 30-year Bond Auction, and FOMC Member Musalem — all low-tier.

On the cards, the dollar pairs still lean lower: EUR/USD is bearish clear with H4 RSI at 35.0, and GBP/USD is bearish clear with H4 RSI at 37.8, sitting between two close levels. USD/JPY leans bullish, also wedged between two close levels, so a break either way is the watch. Gold is bearish clear and resting right at its nearest level above. Oil stays bullish clear, though H1 RSI at 71.3 runs warm. Bitcoin is bearish strong across all three timeframes with H4 RSI at 29.4; Ethereum leans bearish with H4 RSI at 22.7.
