What To Watch Until London Open

• Watch China / PBOC headlines and the USDCNH plus Asia-equity reaction.
• Track USDJPY, DXY, and the U.S. 2Y to see whether carry still holds or starts to unwind.
• Nasdaq futures, gold, and VIX are the cleanest trio for spotting a change in risk tone.
• Use BTC and ETH as beta proxies: if crypto cannot confirm risk-on, do not overtrust an index rally.
• Key technical levels: NAS100 Futures n/a-n/a, Gold n/a-n/a, USDJPY n/a-n/a

Event Calendar Until London Open

• No scheduled event was successfully pulled into the London-open window; monitor live headlines and the Economic Calendar page.

Trader and Investor Playbook

• Short-term traders: start from a Risk-off stance. Take only setups with a clear trigger around the overnight high/low or daily range.
• Medium-term investors: focus on the assets showing the strongest relative behavior versus USD and yields, and avoid chasing stretched moves before London brings fresh liquidity.
• Assets that look strongest: not clean yet. Weakest assets: ETH, BTC.
• Do not chase into widening spreads near events. Wait for a retest or failure swing, especially into London Open.

Risks and Invalidations

• Surprise macro data that flips USD and Treasury yields.
• Central-bank comments or policy headlines from the Fed, BOJ, PBOC, RBA, or BI.
• Fresh geopolitical escalation that simultaneously reprices gold, oil, and safe havens.
• A sharp DXY or 2Y/10Y reversal that cancels the primary session theme.
• A crypto liquidation cascade or a futures gap that breaks cross-asset correlation.
