Futures market overview
7 futures contracts measured · updated 02 November 2026, 13:10 UTC
What the segment is doing
Across the 7 futures contracts covered, 71% are in a measured uptrend (5 of 7). Participation is broad rather than concentrated in a few names.
57% of the segment trades above its 200-period moving average — a mixed longer-term structure with no clear regime.
The average 14-period RSI stands at 60.9, with 2 at or above 70. Elevated momentum readings describe stretch, not a reversal date.
The widest session gap runs from Japanese Yen Futures at +0.1% to Australian Dollar Futures at -0.04%, a spread of 0.14 percentage points between the strongest and weakest instrument.
3 instruments show a Bollinger-inside-Keltner squeeze, including Canadian Dollar Futures, Australian Dollar Futures, Japanese Yen Futures. A squeeze precedes an expansion in range without indicating its direction.
Relative volume is running above 1.5× its usual level on Japanese Yen Futures (2.4×), New Zealand Dollar Futures (1.9×), Canadian Dollar Futures (1.7×), so the move there is backed by more participation than a normal session.
Futures carry their own positioning and roll dynamics; open interest and volume context matter as much as price.
