Daily Volume Chart: EUR/USD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • EUR/USD came under steady downside pressure over the past week
  • Below average volume on the move lower remains a concern and is unsupportive of a broader decline
  • However, the downside persistence in daily OBV does hint at a further decline
  • A close back over 1.1100 on above average volume is needed to turn the outlook positive again on the euro

Daily Volume Chart: USD/JPY

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • USD/JPY traded at its highest level in almost two months this week
  • However, low volume on the move higher is unsupportive of a broader advance
  • The lack of momentum in daily OBV is also a concern
  • A close under 122.00 on above average volume would turn us negative on the pair

Daily Volume Chart: GBP/USD

Please add a description for the image.

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • GBP/USD remains in consolidation mode below 1.5700
  • Well above average volume over the past few days signals a directional move is looming
  • A strongly trending daily OBV line warns of an eventual downside resolution
  • A daily close back over 1.5700 on above average volume would turn us positive on the pound
