Some dramatic price action with the sterling pairs on news the UK and the EU may have reached an agreement on the impasse over Northern Ireland. News that a deal had been agreed resulted in GBP soaring higher across all our pairs, but as always with anything Brexit related, today has seen a cooling in the price action with the biggest reversal in gbp/jpy - affectionately known as the Yeppy.

Given the slew of data this week, it would always be a volatile trading week. The first was the CPI which, coming in slightly better than expected, resulted in markets initially rushing higher before falling sharply lower. The second big event was, of course, the FOMC. Once again, the market duly delivered volatile trading conditions in both equities and forex, with risk pairs such as the aud/usd responding accordingly. The 30 min chart for the pair illustrates the market's reaction with more extreme knee-jerk type moves on the CPI and more whipsawing during the FOMC. This is to be expected as the CPI is a straightforward, instant release, while the FOMC happens over a period of time and includes a press conference where traders and algos will react to comments by Jay Powell.
It is during such events that our volatility indicator will trigger in real-time. In other words, two purpose dots will appear as the candle is forming. This tells...

A roundup of one of the busiest days for forex traders that started with the RBNZ interest rate decision and ended with the FOMC minutes. In this video, David & I cover the events of the day and their impact on the relevant currencies and currency pairs. We also focus on the Heatmap, an indicator that can be used both for intraday and longer-term trading. Intraday, the indicator can be used to monitor existing positions across multiple timeframes as the values are based on the currency matrix. The indicator then weights these values to rank the pairs allowing traders to look for reversals.
