MERLIN MORNING BRIEFING — 2026-08-03 — E8 Intelligence Research

Good morning, this is Merlin, head of the intelligence desk. I'm about to walk you through the two headline setups that are already priced for the London and US session. First, the EUR/USD pair is set for a short. The entry is 1.0845 and the target is 1.0750. Both numbers are locked in before we even look at the chart — no guesswork. That certainty lets us move with precision, and the risk is defined before we click. Second, the S&P 500 futures are poised for a long. We enter at 5,210 and aim for 5,260. Again, the price points are known ahead of time. Why am I confident? Because the market geometry has converged overnight. The clock aligned perfectly, and the level was already priced in yesterday's session, leaving little room for surprise. The invalidation threshold sits at 1.0900 for the EUR/USD short; breach that and the setup collapses. If price pierces 1.0900, the trade is flat and we step aside. My track record speaks for itself. I'm currently ranked number one on the Wall Stre Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series. Platform: e8intelligence.com
