Welcome to The Morning Market Tap, your daily edge before the New York session opens. Every trading day at 8:00 AM ET, you get the exact levels, sentiment shifts, and high-impact news that could move markets. No fluff. No "maybes." Just the actionable intelligence you need to trade Gold and major Forex pairs with confidence.
This isn't your typical market recap. This is your pre-session playbook, designed for traders who want precision, speed, and an unfair advantage before the chaos begins.
High-Impact News: What Could Move Markets Today
Monday, February 2, 2026
No Tier-1 Economic Data Scheduled: The calendar is clean today, no CPI, NFP, or Central Bank announcements. That means price action is driven purely by technicals, sentiment, and positioning ahead of tomorrow's ISM Manufacturing PMI release.
Watch for Thin Liquidity: First Monday of the month typically sees lighter volume in the early NY session. Expect sharper moves on breakouts but slower grinds in ranges.
Geopolitical Backdrop: Keep an eye on any overnight developments from Asia-Pacific markets. Risk-on sentiment from equities could weaken safe-haven Gold, while risk-off flows do the opposite.
Translation: Today is a technical trader's paradise. Without major news to whipsaw price, your levels matter more than ever. Respect support and resistance, they'll hold until they don't.
Currency Strength: Who's Leading the Pack?
Here's your snapshot of which currencies are flexing and which ones are limping into the NY session:
Strongest Currency: USD (U.S. Dollar)
The Greenback is holding firm as traders position ahead of this week's economic data. The DXY (Dollar Index) is sitting near recent highs, which means USD-based pairs are under pressure.
Weakest Currency: GBP (British Pound)
Sterling is showing cracks after softer-than-expected sentiment data from the UK last week. Traders are questioning the Bank of England's next move, and that uncertainty is bleeding into price action.
The Pair Most Likely to Make the Move: GBP/USD
With the Dollar strong and the Pound weak, GBP/USD is coiled for a breakdown. If sellers push through key support, this pair could give you the cleanest directional move of the session.
Bottom line: Favor USD strength today. If you're long anything against the Dollar, tighten your stops. If you're short GBP/USD, you're in the driver's seat.
Gold (XAU/USD): The Yellow Metal's Battle Zone
Current Level: $2,648 (as of 8:00 AM ET)
Gold is trading in a tight range between support and resistance, classic consolidation before the next leg. Here's what you need to know:
Key Levels for the NY Session:
Resistance: $2,655 , This is the ceiling. If buyers reclaim this level with conviction, we could see a push toward $2,665.
Support: $2,638 , The floor. A break below here opens the door to $2,625, and sellers will pile on.
The Setup:
Gold is caught between risk sentiment and Dollar strength. If equities rally (risk-on), expect Gold to drift lower. If fear creeps in or the Dollar softens, buyers could defend support and rip higher.
Trade Bias: Neutral to slightly bearish. Watch for a breakdown of $2,638 for short entries. If buyers step in and reclaim $2,655, flip bullish for a scalp to $2,665.
Pro Tip: Use Tap To Trade technology to pre-load your Gold setup. One tap executes your entry, stop-loss, and take-profit, no fumbling while price is moving. Access it here: https://stan.store/DrCurry
EUR/USD: The Euro's Uphill Battle
Current Level: 1.0420
The Euro is struggling against Dollar strength. After last week's rejection at 1.0450, sellers are in control, but support at 1.0400 is holding for now.
Key Levels for the NY Session:
Resistance: 1.0440 , If buyers reclaim this level, we could see a bounce toward 1.0460.
Support: 1.0400 , The critical line in the sand. A break here could trigger a flush to 1.0375.
The Setup:
EUR/USD is trapped in a descending channel. The path of least resistance is down, but the big question is whether 1.0400 holds. If it breaks, expect aggressive selling. If it holds, we could see a short-covering bounce.
Trade Bias: Bearish. Watch for a breakdown of 1.0400 for short entries targeting 1.0375. If buyers defend 1.0400 and reclaim 1.0440, consider a quick long scalp.
Execution Edge: Pre-load your EUR/USD setup with Tap To Trade. Whether you're shorting the breakdown or scalping the bounce, one tap gets you in with precision. No delays. No second-guessing.
GBP/USD: The Pound's Pressure Cooker
Current Level: 1.2520
This is the pair to watch today. GBP/USD is sitting on a knife's edge, and a breakdown could deliver the cleanest directional move of the session.
Key Levels for the NY Session:
Resistance: 1.2550 , If buyers reclaim this level, we could see a bounce toward 1.2580.
Support: 1.2500 , The psychological level and technical support. A break here opens the door to 1.2470.
The Setup:
The Pound is weak, the Dollar is strong, and GBP/USD is coiled for a move. The question isn't if it moves, it's when. Sellers are circling 1.2500 like sharks. If that level breaks, expect a cascade of stop-losses to fuel the move lower.
Trade Bias: Bearish. This is the highest-probability short setup of the day. Watch for a breakdown of 1.2500 for short entries targeting 1.2470 and beyond. If buyers miraculously defend 1.2500 and reclaim 1.2550, consider a counter-trend long scalp, but the risk/reward favors the downside.
Why This Pair Matters: When currency strength diverges this clearly (strong USD + weak GBP), the resulting price action is clean, directional, and tradable. This is where you make your money.
How to Execute These Setups: The Tap To Trade Advantage
You have the levels. You have the bias. Now you need the execution edge that separates profitable traders from everyone else.

How It Works:
Pre-load your setup: Define your entry, stop-loss, and take-profit before price reaches your level.
One tap executes everything: When your level hits, tap once. Your entire trade, entry, SL, and TP, is placed instantly.
No delays. No mistakes. No missed opportunities.
