Step into the power of the New York session. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your journey, the NY open is where the world’s biggest moves happen. But to dominate this session, you need more than just luck: you need a plan, a pulse on the market, and the right technology to execute with precision.
Welcome to the Morning Market Tap. Today is Monday, May 25, 2026. It’s Memorial Day in the United States, which means the landscape looks a little different today. But for the disciplined trader, every market condition is an opportunity if you know where to look.
The Morning Market Tap: Monday Outlook
Mondays are for setting the narrative. While the U.S. banks are closed for the holiday, the rest of the world is still moving. When the U.S. is on holiday, liquidity typically thins out during the NY afternoon, but the "overlap" with the London session still provides plenty of action for those using the right tools.
Gold (XAU/USD)
Gold remains the ultimate hedge and a favorite for the Morning Market Tap. In a thin-liquidity environment like a U.S. bank holiday, Gold can become particularly sensitive to any sudden headlines. We are looking for Gold to hold its ground. Without the heavy hand of U.S. institutional volume this afternoon, watch for "holiday drifts": slow, grinding moves that can provide excellent entries if you catch the trend early.
EUR/USD & GBP/USD
The Euro and the Pound are the stars of the show today. With the U.S. sidelined, the focus shifts entirely to European sentiment. We’ve seen steady pressure on the Dollar over the last few sessions, and today’s low-volume environment might just allow the majors to reclaim key psychological levels.
High-Impact News: The Volatility Watch
Even on a holiday, you cannot afford to ignore the calendar. High-impact news is the engine of market volatility. Here is what you must watch today to protect your capital and find your edge:
U.S. Memorial Day (Bank Holiday): This is the biggest factor for the NY session. Expect lower volume and wider spreads as the day progresses. The afternoon may be quiet, so focus your energy on the London/NY crossover.
Euro-area Economic Confidence Index (May): This is today’s primary mover. A beat here could send EUR/USD charging toward resistance, while a miss might give the USD some unexpected holiday strength.
Overnight Sentiment: Global markets are currently leaning into a "risk-on" sentiment, which typically favors the GBP and EUR against the USD.
Pro Tip: In thin markets, "stop-runs" are more common. Ensure your entries are precise and your stops are placed strategically. This is where Akashx's Tap To Trade technology becomes your greatest asset: enabling you to enter exactly when the move starts.
Currency Strength: Who is Leading the Pack?
Identifying the strongest and weakest currencies is how you find the "pair of the day." You want to trade the strongest against the weakest for maximum momentum.
Strongest:EUR – Buoyed by the Economic Confidence data and the absence of USD selling pressure.
Weakest:USD – Sidelined by the holiday and lack of domestic data to drive it higher.
The Move of the Day:EUR/USD is the pair to watch. With the Euro-area data being the only real catalyst on the board, this pair has the highest probability of making a clean, directional move during the NY open.
Key Levels for the NY Session
Success in trading is about knowing your levels before the price gets there. Here are the zones we are watching for today’s session:
XAU/USD (Gold)
Resistance: $2,385 - $2,392 (Watch for a breakout if the USD remains soft).
Support: $2,360 - $2,355 (Key area for potential buy setups).
EUR/USD
Resistance: 1.0920 (A break above this could open the doors to 1.0980).
Support: 1.0850 (The line in the sand for the bulls today).
GBP/USD
Resistance: 1.2750 (Psychological level and recent swing high).
Support: 1.2680 (Strong structural support).
