FX Midday Briefing β€” Fri 11 Sep 2026: USD/NOK Gains 0.60% as US Session Kicks Off

Mid-session update on Friday 11 September 2026: with the US session underway, G10 and emerging FX markets are showing 10 pairs bid and 9 offered against the Dollar. The session's leading movers are USD/NOK (+0.60%), EUR/JPY (-0.46%), NZD/USD (+0.41%). Cross-asset flows from US equity and bond markets are increasingly influencing FX positioning as European traders hand off to their New York counterparts.

This midday snapshot includes updated intraday pivot levels, the full day's economic calendar with actual releases for morning data, and fresh candlestick charts for all 19 pairs. Afternoon risk events β€” if any remain on the calendar β€” are flagged in the calendar section below.

All pivot levels (R1 R2 R3 / S1 S2 S3) are computed from yesterday's full-session OHLC via the standard floor-pivot formula. Charts cover 65 daily bars with SMA20, SMA50 and Bollinger Bands (20,2).

EUR/USD candlestick chart β€” SMA20 SMA50 BB
R3R2R1S1S2S3
1.16881.16651.16381.15881.15651.1538

With the US session now active, EUR/USD trades at 1.1605 (-0.06% vs. yesterday's close), at the 37th percentile of its 1.1324–1.2082 52-week range. Today's intraday range of 1.1569–1.1617 (0.0048 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias is neutral-to-bearish while price holds below the daily pivot at 1.1615.

Price is closest to S1 at 1.1588 β€” a decisive break below S1 (1.1588) exposes S2 (1.1565). The R1–S1 corridor (1.1638–1.1588) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.

For EUR/USD, price is in the lower half of its annual range, keeping the path of least resistance lower. The 52-week range of 1.1324–1.2082 places the pair at the 37th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.

With the US session now active, GBP/USD trades at 1.3521 (+0.09% vs. yesterday's close), at the 60th percentile of its 1.3009–1.3868 52-week range. Today's intraday range of 1.3480–1.3528 (0.0049 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias tilts bullish with price above the daily pivot at 1.3520.

Price is closest to R1 at 1.3549 β€” a decisive break above R1 (1.3549) opens R2 (1.3589). The R1–S1 corridor (1.3549–1.3480) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.

For GBP/USD, intraday momentum is constructive; the upper half of the annual range favours dip-buyers. The 52-week range of 1.3009–1.3868 places the pair at the 60th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.

Price is closest to S1 at 153.57 β€” a decisive break below S1 (153.57) exposes S2 (152.73). The R1–S1 corridor (154.96–153.57) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.

For USD/JPY, price is in the lower half of its annual range, keeping the path of least resistance lower. The 52-week range of 146.58–163.98 places the pair at the 42th percentile annually.

For USD/CHF, upside momentum is intact; the 52W high is the key target on a sustained break above R2. The 52-week range of 0.7602–0.8206 places the pair at the 91th percentile annually.

With the US session now active, NOK/SEK trades at 1.0399 (-0.20% vs. yesterday's close), just 0.43% below its 52-week high of 1.0444. Today's intraday range of 1.0356–1.0444 (0.0088 pips) is above the average daily range. The intraday bias tilts bullish with price above the daily pivot at 1.0396.

Price is closest to S1 at 1.0352 β€” a decisive break below S1 (1.0352) exposes S2 (1.0283). The R1–S1 corridor (1.0465–1.0352) defines the equilibrium zone for the afternoon session; a sustained directional break will likely set the tone into tomorrow's Asian open.

For NOK/SEK, upside momentum is intact; the 52W high is the key target on a sustained break above R2. The 52-week range of 0.9064–1.0444 places the pair at the 97th percentile annually. Key risk: any USD-moving headline into the NY close could extend the intraday range well beyond current pivot boundaries.
