Two volume price analysis lessons in one here on the daily chart for the GBP/JPY. First we see rising price and falling volume as the rally of late March stalls as a result. This is an anomaly as we should expect to see rising prices supported with rising volume if the trend is to develop with real momentum. Then we move into the congestion phase. Note the fall in volume as price action narrows and trades around the volume point of control. Now all we need to do is wait and be patient. The breakout will come in due course, and be confirmed as genuine or false with volume.

Getting into a Trend Using the Currency Strength Indicator
Getting into a trend early gives traders an edge. The currency strength indicator helps spot these opportunities. It ranks currencies by relative performance. Strong currencies rise to the top. Weak ones fall to the bottom. This reveals emerging trends quickly. In this session from the London forex session we explain how to use the currency strength indicator to help you get into a trend.
How the Indicator Signals Trends
The indicator updates in real time. Look for sustained extremes—currencies staying strong or weak over sessions. Pair the strongest with the weakest for momentum plays. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms entry—high volume on moves shows conviction.
Practical Steps for Trend Entries
Select pairs from extremes on the indicator. Confirm with higher timeframe alignment. Enter on pullbacks with volume support. Quantum Trading's indicator on MT5 or NinjaTrader includes alerts for timely action. Avoid middling pairs in choppy markets.

There was only one currency in focus this morning as the country goes to the polls today on one of the tightest general elections we have seen for decades. Ahead of the London forex open, the GBP was being bought but as so often occurs at session crossovers, the trend higher on the GBP/JPY was reversed with the pair moving lower. The volatility indicator was much in evidence as was the volume point of control across the various timeframes, and coupled with the price based support and resistance indicator and accumulation and distribution indicators, defined clear levels of support and resistance.

Using the Currency Dashboard Indicators in the European and London Sessions
The European and London forex sessions offer high liquidity. This creates clear relational moves. Quantum's currency dashboard indicators shine here. The four tools—currency strength indicator, currency array, currency heatmap, and currency matrix—work together. They reveal sentiment and opportunities fast.
An earlier session than usual which began at 7am and through into the London forex session at 8am, and as always a time when the volatility indicator works overtime as the market crossover brings the market makers in to feed. Rather like sharks waiting for the shoals of small fish as feeding time approaches! And we were not disappointed as we focused on the GBP in particular along with the euro.

Aussie Dollar the One to Watch on the Currency Strength Indicator and Currency Matrix
The Aussie dollar is the one to watch right now. It stands out on the currency strength indicator. AUD ranks high against majors. This signals relative strength. The currency matrix confirms it with bold colors across pairs.
In the London forex session, the pair to watch was the AUD/CAD with the Aussie dollar rising strongly and the Canadian dollar falling equally strongly on the faster timeframes of the currency strength indicator, with the currency matrix indicator confirming this sentiment.
Why AUD Leads the Pack
Commodity links drive AUD performance. Rising risk appetite boosts it. Volume price analysis (VPA) supports the move—high volume on up candles shows conviction. Quantum's strength indicator and matrix on MT5 or NinjaTrader highlight AUD extremes clearly.
