Dollar soft into the open — DXY bear 102.255 with yen and sterling bulls leaning the same way — into ISM Services at 10:00. New Friday-anchored daily field: overnight lasts inside the expected-move band across the board; alerts 0. Path still 3.75–4.00%.
Monday, October 5, 2026
Dollar soft into the open — Spotter DXY bearish 102.255 with yen bulls at 0.006363 and 0.0063545 and sterling bullish 1.3223 all lean the same way — into Monday’s Tier-1 clock: ISM Services PMI at 10:00 a.m. ET. If DXY gets accepted back above 102.255, that dollar-soft read is dead. Path still inherits the September 16 hike (3.75%–4.00%, 12–0). Labor already printed last week — Claims 197k Thursday and NFP +29k / U-3 4.2% / AHE +0.1% / 3.0% Friday — wire history only, never UW SENT. CPI is October 14. Do not invent it early.
Into this Hawaii window the new daily map — anchored to Friday’s settle — shows overnight lasts inside the daily expected-move band on ES, NQ, YM, RTY, gold, and crude. Publisher alerts: 0. Board into the Hawaii window: ES near 7,770, NQ near 30,994, YM near 51,432, RTY near 2,854, GC near 4,181, CL near 89.63.
RTH Market Prep is the day clock, not a forecast. Monday’s job is to mark what Globex already spent on the new Friday-anchored daily field — lasts inside across the board — size against the leftover expected move into the 10:00 Services print, and keep sealed path separate from one soft overnight dollar lean. Weekend Review’s operating rule still holds: wait for the location, set the alert, live off the charts. Missed fills stay missed.
This note does not invent new Spotter levels — overnight CLEAR carries from the packet (23 hourly SENT · 0 Daily · 0 Weekly). Resting gems stay arm-only: GC Daily 4163.8 / GC Weekly 4180.2, Wed cash YM Daily/Weekly 51443, overnight Daily YM 51017 / HG 6.5255 / NKD 68530 / SI Daily 60.285 / SI Weekly 60.395.
