How the MT5 Currency Matrix Reveals Market Sentiment
The MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment clearly. It displays relational strength across all major pairs. A heatmap format ranks currencies visually. Strong ones appear in green. Weak ones show in red. This exposes overall mood instantly.
In this video which comes towards the end of the London session and the start of the US session, we highlight how the currency matrix helps to identify the universal sentiment to the Canadian dollar. In this example, the USD dollar has been strongly bullish before reversing to bearish, and coupled with very strong buying of the Canadian dollar, which is shown on the currency strength indicator.
On the currency matrix we then isolate our the Canadian dollar which confirms that sentiment across the CAD complex is universal. In other words, the CAD is being bought against all other primary currencies and as revealed on the 10 minute ranking ladder with the 20 minute timeframe starting to develop in the same way.

Risk-On vs Risk-Off Sentiment
Risk-on sentiment boosts commodity currencies like AUD or NZD. They rank high against safe-havens (JPY, CHF). Risk-off favors yen and Swiss franc. They dominate the matrix. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms these shifts—high volume in supporting pairs validates sentiment.
