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.

SESSION PREP · ASIA

What to watch in the Asia session

The Asian session (Sydney · Australia · Tokyo · China · Singapore) · updated 2026-10-14 21:02 UTC.

Good evening, Asia. The day that just ended kept the chip and crypto stories front and centre — CoreWeave's AI bonds wobbling, France's 31.4% stablecoin tax proposal drawing warnings of an offshore exodus, and Singapore's central bank surprising with a policy pause.

This window is anything but quiet. Australia's employment change and unemployment rate land high tier, alongside UK GDP m/m and a full UK data run — construction output, goods trade balance, services, industrial and manufacturing production. The Swiss get PPI and SNB Chairman Schlegel; Japan gets core machinery orders and revised industrial production. Bailey and Pill headline the speaker slate, with Bowman, Greene and the RBA's annual report rounding things out.

On the gauge: EUR/USD is bearish clear, D1 and H1 down with H4 mixed, price sitting far below its nearest resistance. Sterling now leans bearish, H1 down while D1 and H4 sit mixed, price wedged between two close levels. USD/JPY is bullish clear with D1 and H4 up, tucked between two tight levels. Gold is bearish clear, H4 and H1 down, stretched below its nearest level. Oil leans bullish, H4 and H1 up, closer to the level above. Bitcoin is bearish clear with D1 down; Ethereum is bearish strong across all three timeframes, near the bottom of its range. Watch how the dollar complex and the Aussie react once the employment data prints.
