FX Morning Briefing — Mon 28 Sep 2026: USD/PLN Rallies 0.46% as European Session Opens

FX Morning Briefing — Mon 28 Sep 2026: USD/PLN Rallies 0.46% as European Session Opens

European markets open on Monday 28 September 2026 with G10 FX showing mixed signals as the Asian session wraps up and traders position for Friday's US afternoon data. The top movers overnight are USD/PLN (+0.46%), USD/ZAR (+0.41%), USD/CHF (+0.29%). The US Dollar Index (DXY) reflects accumulated Fed rate-cut expectations, with risk-sensitive currencies responding to equity futures and commodity prices in early London trade.

The European morning calendar is light — German and Spanish CPI finals confirm the disinflationary trend — before the key risk event arrives in the US session: University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment (preliminary September) at 16:00 UTC. A beat would support USD broadly; a miss would renew pressure on USD/JPY near its 2026 floor and push EUR/USD back toward its 52-week high. Norges Bank's hawkish hold continues to anchor NOK outperformance, while exotic pairs trade in tight ranges ahead of the weekly close.

All 19 pairs below include live MT5 pivot levels (R1 R2 R3 / S1 S2 S3) computed from Thursday's full-session OHLC, 65-day candlestick charts with SMA20, SMA50 and Bollinger Bands (20,2), and forward-looking analysis for the EU and US sessions on Mon 28 Sep 2026.

1.14541.14321.14111.13681.13471.1326

EUR/USD opens the European session at 1.1380 (-0.09% vs. Thursday's close), just 0.49% above its 52-week floor at 1.1324. The intraday bias remains neutral-to-bearish while price holds below the daily pivot at 1.1390. The 52-week range of 1.1324–1.2082 places EUR/USD at the 7th percentile — the annual support is the key line in the sand — hold or break determines the next directional leg.

Resistance levels to monitor on the upside: R1 at 1.1411 is the first pivot barrier; clearing it shifts momentum decisively higher toward R2 (1.1432) and R3 (1.1454). On the downside, S1 at 1.1368 is the immediate support floor — a confirmed break below S1 exposes S2 (1.1347) then S3 (1.1326). The R1–S1 corridor (1.1411–1.1368) marks the most probable intraday trading band.

For the session ahead, the key US data risk is the UoM Consumer Sentiment (preliminary September reading), due at 16:00 UTC. A reading above consensus would strengthen the dollar broadly; a miss would renew USD selling pressure. For EUR/USD, a weekly close below S1 would reinforce the corrective bias into next week.

The intraday bias tilts bullish while price holds above the daily pivot at 1.3238. The 52-week range of 1.3009–1.3868 places GBP/USD at the 29th percentile — price remains in the lower half of its annual range, reflecting structural headwinds.

Resistance levels to monitor on the upside: R1 at 1.3268 is the first pivot barrier; clearing it shifts momentum decisively higher toward R2 (1.3293) and R3 (1.3323). On the downside, S1 at 1.3214 is the immediate support floor — a confirmed break below S1 exposes S2 (1.3184) then S3 (1.3159).

For the session ahead, the key US data risk is the UoM Consumer Sentiment (preliminary September reading), due at 16:00 UTC.

On the downside, S1 at 1.0401 is the immediate support floor — a confirmed break below S1 exposes S2 (1.0346) then S3 (1.0310). The R1–S1 corridor (1.0492–1.0401) marks the most probable intraday trading band.

For the session ahead, the key US data risk is the UoM Consumer Sentiment (preliminary September reading), due at 16:00 UTC. A reading above consensus would strengthen the dollar broadly; a miss would renew USD selling pressure. For NOK/SEK, a weekly close above R1 would confirm the bullish structure into next week.

USD/TRY opens the European session at 48.656 (+0.17% vs. Thursday's close), just 0.00% below its 52-week high of 48.658. The intraday bias tilts bullish while price holds above the daily pivot at 48.572. The 52-week range of 41.151–48.658 places USD/TRY at the 100th percentile — upside momentum is intact; a break above the 52W high would signal trend extension.

Resistance levels to monitor on the upside: R1 at 48.641 is the first pivot barrier; clearing it shifts momentum decisively higher toward R2 (48.707) and R3 (48.776). On the downside, S1 at 48.506 is the immediate support floor — a confirmed break below S1 exposes S2 (48.437) then S3 (48.371). The R1–S1 corridor (48.641–48.506) marks the most probable intraday trading band.

For the session ahead, the key US data risk is the UoM Consumer Sentiment (preliminary September reading), due at 16:00 UTC. A reading above consensus would strengthen the dollar broadly; a miss would renew USD selling pressure. For USD/TRY, a weekly close above R1 would confirm the bullish structure into next week.

The intraday bias tilts bullish while price holds above the daily pivot at 17.146. The 52-week range of 16.855–18.768 places USD/MXN at the 16th percentile — price remains in the lower half of its annual range, reflecting structural headwinds.

Resistance levels to monitor on the upside: R1 at 17.186 is the first pivot barrier; clearing it shifts momentum decisively higher toward R2 (17.229) and R3 (17.269). On the downside, S1 at 17.103 is the immediate support floor — a confirmed break below S1 exposes S2 (17.063) then S3 (17.020). The R1–S1 corridor (17.186–17.103) marks the most probable intraday trading band.
