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.
Practical Application with Quantum Tools
Use the currency strength indicator to rank AUD and JPY. Extremes signal sentiment extremes. Quantum matrix on MT5 or NinjaTrader visualizes this relationally. Rising AUD/JPY...

Support & Resistance Trading & Candle Patterns
Support and resistance trading forms the backbone of technical analysis. These levels act as barriers. Price often bounces or breaks at them. Candle patterns add confirmation. They show buyer/seller battles at key zones. Support & resistance is a key element of classic technical analysis and one of the five pillars of volume price analysis. And when combined with support & resistance from both a price and volume based perspective will give traders and investors additional confidence in identifying whether a trend is likely to reverse or not.
Key Candle Patterns at Levels
Reversal patterns like hammers or shooting stars shine at support/resistance. A hammer at support signals buying pressure. Doji candles show indecision. Engulfing patterns indicate strong shifts. Volume price analysis (VPA) validates these—high volume on reversal candles confirms conviction.
Practical Application
Combine levels with patterns for better entries. Wait for candle close at support/resistance. Check volume for strength. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight levels and...

Even as a day trader it's important not to underestimate the price action and volume on the daily time frame particularly from a volume price analysis perspective when increased buying and selling does not often play out immediately. The NQ was a great example with major buying coming in a few days before a significant move in the index.

Markets are about risk on or risk off appetite and often the best way to establish which is prevalent is to consider proxy markets or instruments. The aud/jpy currency pair performs this function as the yen can be either a safe haven or risk currency. And as a commodity currency, the Australian dollar too gives traders and investors an insight into both the market and economies.

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:...

Market reversals happen for many reasons and as traders, we are constantly scanning the market to try and judge its mood and whether the sentiment is going to be risk on or risk off? One way to is to consider related markets such as bond or proxy instruments such as the aud/jpy from the forex market. In this video we consider the aud/jpy and how it signalled a potential move higher in the indices.
