Day Driver
Auction Ledmedium confidenceWhat Drove This Session
This session was mainly auction-led. Price discovery, value migration, and acceptance or rejection across the major sessions mattered more than the macro tape.
Scheduled Macro
3 high-impact catalyst window(s) were scheduled during the day, led by Federal Funds Rate, FOMC Statement, and more. The archived feed no longer carries the finalized prints, so those events should be treated as timing markers while auction acceptance decides whether the move was real.
Headline Tape
Headline tape for 2026-04-29 is mixed. That means auction acceptance should carry more weight than the headline tape by itself.

05:30AsiaDelta -1.8k
Delta stopped backing the move
Bullish continuation from Asia Open, lifting from 1.17170 into 1.17220. Asia was still running -1.8k delta, so the move looked more like repair than accepted upside. That was the clue to stop treating the bounce as a fresh long continuation.
10:55AsiaDelta -1.8k
Opposite flow took over

16:30LondonDelta -28.8k
Delta stopped backing the move
