How to Use Higher and Lower Timeframes to Identify Trends
Multiple timeframes are essential for accurate trend identification. Higher timeframes reveal the big picture. Lower timeframes provide precise timing. This alignment reduces false signals. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms trend strength across frames. Quantum indicators make the process visual and reliable.
In this video from the webclass of the London forex session Anna exlains how to use higher and lower timeframes to help identify trends.
Higher Timeframes for Overall Trend Bias
Start with daily or weekly charts. These show the primary trend. Look for sustained moves with volume support. High volume on up candles = bullish bias. Low volume extremes warn of potential reversals.
Higher frames filter noise. They prevent counter-trend trades. Quantum Trend Monitor on NinjaTrader or MT5 aligns direction clearly—green for uptrends, red for down.
Lower Timeframes for Entry and Exit Timing
Switch to hourly, 15-minute, or lower charts. These break down the higher timeframe candle. See inside the move—volume flows, pullbacks, or momentum surges.

How Many Pips Does AUD/USD Move in a Typical Day?
The Aussie dollar is one of the risk currencies driving the forex market as the London forex session gets underway.
AUD/USD is a popular commodity-linked pair. Traders often ask about its daily movement in pips. The average daily range varies with volatility. But historical and recent data give a clear picture.
Typical Daily Pip Movement
AUD/USD's average daily range (high to low) is typically 70-100 pips in normal conditions. This is moderate among majors—less volatile than GBP/JPY but more than EUR/CHF.
Quiet Periods: 50-70 pips (low news, ranging markets).
Active Periods: 80-120 pips (London/NY overlap, data releases).
High Volatility: 150+ pips (major news like RBA decisions or China data).
Recent 2025-2026 data shows ~80-90 pips average. This aligns with long-term trends.
Factors Influencing Daily Range
Commodity Prices: Iron ore or China demand spikes lift volatility.
Risk Sentiment: Risk-on boosts AUD—wider ranges.
News Events: RBA, US data, or geopolitics amplify moves.
Session Overlap: London/NY highest liquidity—biggest swings.

It's been a wonderful trading session this morning with cable falling strongly since the start of the London open, following an extended period of congestion with the volume point of control strongly in evidence. Then the breakaway develops with a strong signal of weakness and confirmed with the candle which follows on high volume. Price and volume are in agreement. A re-entry signal then gives those traders who missed the initial signal a perfect opportunity. And just to confirm the pair are now trading at 1.2260.
In addition, note the resistance overhead with the accumlation and distribution indicator and the red dashed line which confirms the strength of resistance in this area and adds further weight to the weakness. Finally note the trend monitor indicator which remains red and bearish throughout.

A nice congestion phase building on the 5m chart for the GBP/JPY and one which introduces several elements of volume price analysis. First we have support and resistance here we see a strong region of resistance building with the red dashed line. This is on the accumulation and distribution indicator which displays graphically the strength of such regions. In other words the thicker the line, the stronger the region, so a strong ceiling of resistance building at 129.75. In addition we are also trading at the volume point of control at 129.52. This is the fulcrum of the market at present with no bullish or bearish bias. In other words the market is in price agreement where we have the heaviest concentration of volume. The key now is to wait for the breakaway from this region which will come - it's a question of being patient and waiting. And on the move away we then move to consider the volume...
