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 · US
What to watch in the US session
The US session (New York open · the afternoon drive) · updated 2026-10-09 12:02 UTC.
Good afternoon. The stablecoin drumbeat continues — Samsung Wallet, French tax plans, ESMA's three-month countdown — while the headlines muse on an aging bull market, oil's battles and a Bolsonaro-fuelled Brazil rally.
This session's calendar carries some weight: Canadian Employment Change and Unemployment Rate, both high-tier, land alongside the preliminary University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations, with FOMC Member Collins speaking later.
On the cards, EUR/USD reads neutral — D1 down, H4 and H1 up — with H4 RSI 45.3 and H1 RSI 45.5, and price closer to the level below (0.5 ATR) than the one above (1.0 ATR). GBP/USD is bearish leaning, D1 down against mixed H4 and H1, sitting just 0.2 ATR from the level below. USD/JPY leans bullish, D1 and H1 up with H4 down, wedged between two close levels. Gold is neutral and sitting right at the nearest level above; oil leans bullish but is boxed between two close levels. Bitcoin stays bearish clear, right at the level below after an outlier 30-minute move, while Ethereum is neutral, closer to the level below. Watch whether those tight zones resolve as the US data arrives.
