Alternative scenario

If

FOMC minutes create a sustained post-release repricing across USD markets.

Then

Late-session conditions could override the London structure and make earlier technical levels less reliable.

Guidance — not a prediction. Today's verdict may need to be re-read if this trigger materialises.

Correlation Summary

Live · This pair only
  • Best window "Late post-FOMC window" opens at 19:35, right after USD FOMC Minutes at 19:00 — the plan waits for post-news direction before engaging.
  • Danger window "FOMC Minutes" (18:45–19:30) contains USD FOMC Minutes at 19:00 — execution risk is elevated because both signals converge.

Why Today's Plan Looks Like This

London has not set the day’s direction yet. The cleanest trades need confirmation after the European open, while the main risk is the US calendar, especially the FOMC minutes later.

Context Detail

Background commentary on the main opportunity, the main risk and how the session is set up.

Today's Trading Checklist

Run through every step below before placing a trade today.

  1. Step 01Upcoming

    Treat the European open as the first real test of direction.

  2. Step 02Upcoming

    Keep USD pairs and gold lighter ahead of FOMC minutes.

  3. Step 03Upcoming

    Brent needs extra care around the 15:30 oil inventory releases.

  4. Step 04Upcoming

    Use post-news confirmation rather than pre-news positioning.

  5. Step 05Upcoming

    If London price action is messy, reduce activity until New York.
