Understanding how markets relate to one another can help both traders and investors. Volume price analysis and our Quantum tools make this a lot easier and in this video we consider how moves in the Japanese yen were a precursor to yesterday's dramatic market sell-off.
Trading with Intermarket Analysis
Intermarket analysis is a powerful approach for traders. It studies relationships between asset classes: stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. These markets are interconnected. Moves in one influence others. Understanding this reveals broader sentiment. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction across markets.
Core Intermarket Relationships
Key links drive trading insights:
Bonds and Stocks: Bond prices fall (yields rise) in risk-on—equities rally. Yields drop in risk-off—stocks weaken.
USD and Commodities: Strong USD pressures gold/oil lower (priced in dollars). Weak USD boosts them.
Oil and Commodity Currencies: High oil lifts CAD (Canada exporter). Low oil weakens it.
Gold and Safe-Havens: Risk-off surges gold and JPY/CHF.
Equities and Risk Currencies: Stocks up favors AUD/NZD.
These correlations shift but persist long-term.

How to Trade Forex Ahead of the London Open
The hours ahead of the London forex open are quiet. Asian session winds down. Volatility drops. Many traders wait. But this period offers preparation advantages. Spot early sentiment. Position for London surge. Volume price analysis (VPA) reveals subtle clues.
Session crossovers can catch many traders as volatility enters the market. Using multiple time frames and non-time-based charts can help traders navigate these tricky trading times. This video breaks down the price action on the gbp/aud before the London open.
Why Trade Ahead of London Open
London open (8:00 GMT) brings liquidity explosion. But Asian close sets tone. Carryover momentum often continues. Early positioning avoids crowded entries. Low volume ranges build pressure. VPA spots this—low volume extremes signal potential breakouts.
Quantum currency strength indicator ranks currencies pre-open. This shows relational leaders.
Preparation and VPA Signals
Use the quiet time wisely:
Scan Relational Strength: Quantum matrix highlights extremes. Strong AUD vs weak JPY = risk-on bias.
VPA in Low Volatility:...

Support & Resistance Trading & Candle Patterns
Support and resistance trading forms the backbone of technical analysis. These levels act as barriers. Price often bounces or breaks at them. Candle patterns add confirmation. They show buyer/seller battles at key zones. Support & resistance is a key element of classic technical analysis and one of the five pillars of volume price analysis. And when combined with support & resistance from both a price and volume based perspective will give traders and investors additional confidence in identifying whether a trend is likely to reverse or not.
Key Candle Patterns at Levels
Reversal patterns like hammers or shooting stars shine at support/resistance. A hammer at support signals buying pressure. Doji candles show indecision. Engulfing patterns indicate strong shifts. Volume price analysis (VPA) validates these—high volume on reversal candles confirms conviction.
Practical Application
Combine levels with patterns for better entries. Wait for candle close at support/resistance. Check volume for strength. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight levels and...

The yen is a unique currency in the forex market as it can confirm either risk on or risk off sentiment. In this excerpt from today's forex webinar, it was a case of which of the yen pairs offered the best trading opportunity as the indices moved higher.
The Yen Complex Confirms Market Sentiment: Why JPY Behaves This Way and Key Pairs to Watch
The Japanese yen (JPY) complex is a powerful barometer for global risk sentiment. When yen pairs move together, it confirms market mood clearly. JPY strengthens in risk-off (fear). It weakens in risk-on (optimism). This relational behavior creates high-probability trades. Volume price analysis (VPA) validates conviction—high volume on yen moves shows real sentiment shifts.
Why the Yen Behaves This Way
JPY is the premier safe-haven currency:
Low Interest Rates: BoJ policy keeps rates near zero. This makes yen cheap to borrow—fueling carry trades in risk-on.
Safe-Haven Demand: In uncertainty (equities drop, crises), investors repatriate funds. Yen buying surges.
Carry Trade Dynamics:...

Price Reaction to Volatility in the Gold Market
Gold prices react strongly to volatility. This precious metal is sensitive to market mood. High volatility often signals shifts. Traders use it to anticipate moves. The Quantum volatility indicator helps spot these changes early. Based on average true range, the Quantum Volatility indicator triggers in real time and is invaluable in helping traders avoid FOMO (fear of missing out) and can signal an exit if already in a trade. It works in all markets and time frames, and in this example, was triggered on the gold chart.
How Volatility Drives Gold Price Reaction
Volatility measures price swings. In gold, it reflects uncertainty. Risk-off sentiment boosts safe-haven demand. Gold rallies on high volatility spikes. Risk-on calms it—gold pulls back. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms reactions—high volume on moves shows conviction.
Using the Quantum Volatility Indicator
The Quantum volatility indicator on MT5 or NinjaTrader highlights expansion phases. Spikes warn of potential breakouts or reversals. Combine with VPA—high volatility with...
