In the US forex session focus was on the euro and the British pound, both of which benefitted from fundamental news, with the GBP rising strongly on retail sales and the single currency falling on an inflation report from the ECB. All of this was revealed on the currency matrix and the currency strength indicators from Quantum Trading.

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.

What a combination, and even in thin markets, the renko indicator from Quantum Trading with the trend monitor and trends indicators deliver. With the US markets closed for the 4th July celebrations, volumes were thin, but with the renko indicator coupled with the trends and trend monitor indicator scalping trades were delivered....
The London forex session delivered a terrific trade on the GBP/AUD, as strength in the Aussie dollar coupled with weakness in the British pound sent the pair falling overnight and into Europe. A great example of how to use the trend monitor indicator across multiple timeframes, and its power at keeping you in to maximise profits with the currency strength indicator signalling those all important reversals and pullbacks.

In this video we highlight the currency strength indicator and the currency array indicator for NinjaTrader, and the importance of understanding universal flow in the market. Here we see strong buying for the British pound and the euro which is reflected in the charts, but is sentiment for the two currencies universal across the complex, and this is where the currency array indicator steps in to help. In the ranking ladder to for the currency array we can see sentiment for the GBP is universal with strong buying in all the pairs.
For the euro this is not the case and highlighting the key point, which is to choose your currency pairs with care. Trading against the universal market sentiment is fine, as long as are aware that this is indeed the case. Most forex traders are not, and so assume the market is universally bullish or bearish on the currency which is often not the case at all!!...

In this video which comes towards the end of the London session and the start of the US session, we highlight how the currency matrix helps to identify the universal sentiment to the Canadian dollar. In this example the USD dollar has been strongly bullish before reversing to bearish and coupled with very strong buying of the Canadian dollar which is shown on the currency strength indicator.
On the currency matrix we then isolate our the Canadian dollar which confirms that sentiment across the CAD complex is universal. In other words, the CAD is being bought against all other primary currencies and as revealed on the 10 minute ranking ladder with the 20 minute timeframe starting to develop in the same way.

Some really nice two way price action on the Aussie complex which started overnight on the release of Chinese data, namely GDP, the Industrial Production and the Fixed Asset Investment numbers. The hourly chart for the complex clearly shows volatility candles being triggered across the board (as denoted by the purple arrows), with the Aussie rising sharply before moving back inside the spread of the volatility candle. This momentum was also signaled on the currency strength indicator before the currency moved into a consolidation phase in the transition to the European and London sessions.
There were further gains for the Aussie in the morning session, until bullish momemtum drained away which resulted in some great trades to the short side. These were particularly evident in the AUD/USD, GBP/AUD and AUD/NZD.
The Aussie now faces another important item of fundamental news, specifically the RBA Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes which may give traders some indication of whether the central bank is likely to cut...
Eurodollar continues to frustrate traders, and it's easy to see why. Since the failure to breach 1.1713 the pair has retreated back into the range of the VPOC (volume point of control) in the 1.1170 region where it continues to remain waterlogged.
With end of month and end of quarter position squaring we will have to wait to see whether eurodollar can finally break away from this region. From a technical perspective the heavy selling of 6 weeks ago is self evident with the extreme volume and deep upper wick to the candle telling their own story. Since then the pivots have helped to define the floor and ceiling of the congestion zone, and with volume now building on the VPOC histogram any move away is likely to be extreme and accompanied with strong participation.
The key level to any move to the downside is 1.1128 where strong support awaits.
