Daily Volume Chart: EUR/USD

The Weekly Volume Report: Accumulation or Distribution in USD/JPY?

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • EUR/USD continued its advance over the past week to trade at a new high for the month
  • Below average volume on the advance continues to raise questions about the underlying strength of the current advance
  • However, the move to new highs in daily OBV is supportive
  • A move under 1.1080 on above average volume is needed to turn us negative on the exchange rate

Daily Volume Chart: USD/JPY

The Weekly Volume Report: Accumulation or Distribution in USD/JPY?

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • USD/JPY remains in a sideways to lower range
  • Average volume during the recent consolidation is sheds little light on future directional path
  • Sideways action in the daily OBV is also unhelpful
  • A close back over 121.65 on above average volume would turn us positive on the pair

Daily Volume Chart: GBP/USD

The Weekly Volume Report: Accumulation or Distribution in USD/JPY?

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • GBP/USD continued higher to trade at its highest level in three weeks
  • Volume has been generally above average which is supportive of the rise
  • However, weakness in daily OBV remains persistent and is clear a potential negative
  • A daily close below 1.5335 on above average volume would turn us negative on the rate
