Forex trading success is all about choosing the right currency pair and the starting point is the currency strength indicator. Here strength and weakness in the individual currencies is revealed simply and clearly which is why we call it out sonar on the market. Like the device trawlers use to locate shoals of fish, so we use it to identify reversals and strong trends in the building blocks of the markets - the currencies themselves. However, when a currency is rising or falling strongly, this does not mean it is doing this across the complex, and so we are constantly looking for the a strong move for the counter currency in the opposite direction. So if the currency is rising strongly, we want to match it with one which is falling equally strongly. Why? Because this will deliver the greatest momentum in the trend.

Brexit in Focus Once More for the British Pound
Brexit returns to focus for the British pound. Political or trade developments spark volatility. GBP pairs react sharply. Traders watch sentiment shifts closely. This creates opportunities in cable and crosses.
With Brexit once more in the headlines it's the British pound which is delivering some great forex trading opportunities across the pound complex and worries concerning a no deal surface once more and drive the currency lower on the daily timeframe. But remember, when a currency is driven in this way expect to see volatility and plenty of trap moves intraday which is where the volatility indicator steps in. And the news for the pound was made worse by the release of news concerning a vaccine trial which had run into problems. So not a happy time for the pound at present!

What Relational Analysis Reveals About Sentiment and Risk
Relational analysis is a core part of modern forex trading. It examines how currencies perform against each other. This reveals hidden sentiment and risk appetite. Single-pair views miss the big picture. Relational tools show the full market mood. Sentiment in the financial markets is expressed as risk-on or risk-off, and following the release of Chinese data overnight, market reaction could best be described as mixed with not universal agreement in risk asset classes.
Sentiment Signals from Relational Strength
Relational analysis highlights risk-on or risk-off sentiment. Strong commodity currencies like AUD or NZD signal risk-on. Investors favor growth assets. Weak safe-havens like JPY or CHF confirm this. Reverse for risk-off—yen and Swiss franc lead rankings.
Risk Appetite and Currency Flows
High relational extremes reveal risk levels. AUD/JPY rising shows appetite for risk. Falling pair warns of caution. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms—high volume on moves validates sentiment. Quantum currency matrix and strength indicator on MT5 or NinjaTrader make...
