In the first part of the US day trading session I focus on the US 30 which is a great way to get started trading indices as it does not require a specialist futures brokers account and moves in the same way. And here I also explain the importance of levels and flows which define market sentiment as it moves between risk-on and risk-off in this and related markets. Levels can be defined in many ways and the most common are off course from a price based perspective, but here I also use volume and the Camarilla Levels indicator.

Wall Street Pauses After Explosive Rally as Bonds, Risk Currencies, and Equity Markets Reacted to the News
Wall Street pauses after an explosive rally. Markets digest the surge. Bonds, risk currencies, and equities all reacted. This intermarket dance reveals sentiment shifts. Traders watch for the next move. Wall Street was in sombre mood following the explosive move the previous day, where risk on sentiment dominated. Equity markets surged and risk currency sold off strongly and reflected equally in bond markets and yields.
Why the Pause After the Rally
Explosive rallies often end in pauses. Price pushes higher fast. But momentum fades. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots this—high price on low volume signals weakness. Quantum Trend Monitor on NinjaTrader shows alignment fading. Consolidation follows.

An extraordinary day for intraday traders as risk-off sentiment took hold, driving the markets with momentum, and creating a perfect storm. For scalping and intraday traders the biggest problem was in deciding which instruments and markets to trade with a myriad of opportunities in all timeframes. As always volume price analysis provided all the signals supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators.
What a day—bearish momentum dominated all markets. Risk-off sentiment took control. Equities plunged. Commodity currencies weakened. Safe-havens surged. Traders were spoilt for choice with short opportunities. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirmed conviction—high volume on down moves showed real selling pressure.
Why Risk-Off Delivered Today
Global uncertainty drove fear. Equities sold off sharply. Growth concerns resurfaced. This favored safe-havens. Yen and Swiss franc strengthened. Gold rallied. Commodity pairs like AUD/JPY or CAD/JPY fell hard. VPA spotted this—high volume down candles validated bearish intent. Low volume bounces = weak buying, perfect...
US index futures reacted to more news from the Trump Twitter handle which created the price action we have seen so many times before. A rapid move in one direction followed by an equally dramatic move in the opposite direction not long after. It's what we call the 'souffle' effect for this reason, and is one to watch out for in all markets as it offers terrific two way price action in a relatively short space of time. And of course, all confirmed with volume price analysis and the indicators.
