MarketsFN FX Desk
Evening wrap-up for Tuesday 20 October 2026: as European markets close and the US session enters its final hours, G10 and emerging FX markets are closing with 10 pairs higher and 9 lower on the day. The standout movers are GBP/USD (+0.51%), USD/CAD (-0.44%), NZD/USD (+0.41%). End-of-day flows — institutional rebalancing, month-end positioning and any late US data surprises — are the main drivers for tonight's Asian handoff.

All pivot levels (R1 R2 R3 / S1 S2 S3) are computed from yesterday's full-session OHLC. Asian session key levels and carry trade dynamics are highlighted in each pair's analysis below.

| 49.686 | 49.622 | 49.532 | 49.378 | 49.314 | 49.223 |
End-of-day snapshot for USD/TRY: closing at 49.575 (+0.27% on the day), just 0.00% below its 52-week high of 49.577. Today's full-session range of 49.441–49.577 (0.135 points). The daily close above the pivot (49.468) signals bullish continuation into tomorrow's Asian open.
For tomorrow's Asian open, the key pivot reference levels remain: R1 49.532 / R2 49.622 / R3 49.686 on the upside and S1 49.378 / S2 49.314 / S3 49.223 on the downside. Asian session liquidity is typically thinner, so gaps through pivot levels should be monitored carefully.
USD/TRY finishes the day the trend is intact; bulls will target a break above the annual high on the next catalyst. The 52-week range of 41.825–49.577 places the pair at the 100th percentile. Key overnight risk: Asian economic data and any after-hours US developments that could reprice the USD complex before London re-opens.
