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 2026-10-12 08:02 UTC.

Good morning — the tape is still talking regulation, with ESMA's MiCA stablecoin push, Samsung Wallet's stablecoin plans and France's crypto tax proposals carrying over, while oil headlines pull in both directions after a ceasefire announcement and reports of falling prices.

This session's calendar is light but not empty: MPC Member Breeden speaks (GBP, low impact), and a US bank holiday is on the board.

On the gauge, the FX and metals cards are live. EUR/USD reads neutral — daily down, four-hour and hourly up — sitting right at the nearest level below with 1.6 ATR to the one above. GBP/USD is bullish leaning on an up four-hour and hourly, closer to the level above. USD/JPY also leans bullish, near the top of its recent range. Gold leans bearish — daily down, four-hour mixed, hourly up — right at the nearest level above. Oil leans bearish with mixed timeframes, closer to the level below. Bitcoin is neutral, between two close levels; Ethereum is neutral and near the top of its range. Watch whether those tilts hold as liquidity returns.
