Volatility Indicator Forex Picks Up Big Move at London Open
The London forex open often sparks big moves. Volatility surges as Europe joins the action. The Quantum volatility indicator picks these up early. It signals expansion phases. Traders spot high-probability opportunities fast.
The London open can often deliver some dramatic price action, and this morning was no exception with the gbp/aud moving over 100 pips before the start of the session. However, such moves are almost always accompanied by volatility. This is why it is essential to have an indicator that triggers in real time.
Why London Open Drives Volatility
London session overlaps with Europe. Liquidity explodes. Majors like EUR/USD or GBP/USD react strongly. News or positioning creates spikes. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on moves shows real momentum. Low volume warns of traps.

Market Sentiment Analysis Using AUD/JPY
AUD/JPY is a powerful pair for market sentiment analysis. It combines commodity-driven AUD with safe-haven JPY. This creates clear risk-on/risk-off signals. Traders watch it closely for global mood.
A new trading week has seen market sentiment soar following the long Memorial Day holiday. For forex traders, the currency pair that best captures market sentiment is the aud/jpy which had already surged higher by the open of the London forex session. In this excerpt from this morning's webinar, we considered the trend in aud/jpy in multiple time frames.
Why AUD/JPY Reflects Sentiment
AUD thrives in risk-on environments. Strong commodities and growth boost it. JPY strengthens in risk-off periods. Investors seek safety during uncertainty. Sharp moves in AUD/JPY highlight sentiment shifts. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on upticks shows risk appetite.

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:...
