Research Desk Pre-Market Briefing — Forex Session Gameplan
The pre-London scan across major CFD pairs reads balanced two-way rotational. European session levels and carry context below. Across the 6 instruments on our desk radar today, 1 hold bullish structure while 1 trade under bearish distribution. Benchmark bellwether EURUSD opens the session near 1.12663 (+0.53%) inside the Premium Zone, while AUDUSD (+0.67%) and USDCHF (-0.63%) mark the widest overnight dispersion across the board.
Desk Gameplan for Today's Session: Rather than reacting to opening-bell noise, our focus is on how price behaves when it tests the unmitigated Bullish Order Blocks (+OB) and Bearish Supply Walls (-OB) mapped on each card below. Currently, 1 of 6 assets sit below their 50% Equilibrium baseline (Discount pricing), where institutional buyers historically step in to defend structure once a lower-timeframe Change of Character (CHoCH) confirms.
