For me the first thing is the NZD/USD move: it's up 1.13% into a Saturday, which in spot FX is a weekend reference rather than live price action, so I'd want to know whether that figure is an end-of-day close or a delayed quote before reading anything into it. Session liquidity matters here too, since thin weekend pricing can make any levels look more meaningful than they are. I'd stand aside if I couldn't confirm the data timestamp or if spreads on the pair looked unusually wide. Which session are people here actually watching, and how do you handle quotes that are up to a day old?
