Daily Volume Chart: EUR/USD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• EUR/USD remains in a sideways to lower range
• Generally below average volume this past week give little insight into future direction
• However, a strong daily OBV is supportive of recent advances
• A move under 1.1080 on above average volume will turn us negative on the exchange rate

Daily Volume Chart: 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

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• GBP/USD came under steady pressure before rallying sharply on Friday
• Volume has been fairly average which gives little insight into the strength of the recent decline
• However, daily OBV remains under pressure which is supportive of a more important decline
• A daily close over 1.5480 on above average volume is needed to turn us positive again on the pound
