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 2026-10-12 12:02 UTC.

Good morning. Oil is the story again — headlines have it rising on Trump's Russian diesel comments, even as other coverage points to a ceasefire-driven slide, and Asian equities are mixed while bank earnings and a looming CPI print keep the macro crowd alert.

The US window itself is light: a Canadian bank holiday, an MPC Member Mann speech, IMF Meetings, and an FOMC Member Hammack appearance — all low-tier, so expect the calendar to play second fiddle to headlines and holiday-thinned liquidity.

On the cards, EUR/USD leans bearish — D1 down against a mixed H4 and up H1, H4 RSI 37.8, with price much closer to support below than resistance above. GBP/USD leans bullish on up H4 and H1, though its D1 is mixed, and it also sits nearer the level below. USD/JPY reads bullish clear, D1 and H4 up against a down H1, H4 RSI 61.9, with no level above where price turned before — stretched. Gold is neutral, D1 down against up H4 and H1. Oil is neutral with a down H4, price wedged between two close levels. Bitcoin is neutral, also between two close levels; Ethereum neutral, with roughly even room either side.

Watch whether the thin holiday tape amplifies moves around those levels, and whether Mann or Hammack stirs sterling or the dollar.
