Understanding Volume in Forex: Why Tick Data Is Our Proxy (Football Stadium Analogy)
Forex markets are decentralized. No single exchange tracks every trade like stocks or futures. This raises a question: How do we measure volume? The answer is tick data—a reliable proxy for activity. Volume price analysis (VPA) uses this to reveal market intent. High ticks show participation. Low ticks signal quiet periods.
The Football Stadium Analogy
Imagine a football stadium from the outside. You can't see inside. But you hear the crowd.
Stadium Quiet: Low noise. Little happening—few goals, boring game. This is low tick volume. Market inactive. Price barely moves. No conviction.
Stadium Roaring: Loud cheers. Constant excitement—goals, near misses. This is high tick volume. Intense activity. Price swings with momentum. Professionals driving action.
Ticks are price changes (up or down). Each tick = a trade executed. High ticks = roaring crowd—real participation. Low ticks = quiet stadium—no momentum.

The US Dollar Delivers on the Currency Strength Indicator in the London Forex Session
The US dollar often delivers strong performance in the London forex session. This period brings high liquidity. USD pairs react sharply. The currency strength indicator highlights USD dominance clearly. Traders spot opportunities fast in majors like EUR/USD or GBP/USD.
Despite the longer-term bearish picture for the currency of first reserve, in the London session, it was strongly bid and delivered excellent trading opportunities across the majors. On the DXY index the US dollar rose to 90.25 before reversing as the US session started later in the day.
Why USD Strength Emerges in London
London session overlaps with Europe. US data previews or positioning build. Dollar flows intensify. Safe-haven or yield demand supports USD. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on USD rallies shows buying pressure. Low volume pullbacks signal weakness in sellers.
Quantum currency strength indicator ranks USD high early. This reveals relational extremes vs EUR or GBP.

There was some terrific price action as London forex markets got underway this morning with the US dollar in focus and driving the currency majors. But it was also a day of strong reversals with the currency of first reserve giving up the early gains to fall mid-morning, and of course signaled across the currency specific indicators such as the currency strength indicator, the currency matrix, and the currency array.
